9^th World Surfactant Congress
Barcelona 2013

The 9^th CESIO Congress held in Barcelona from June 10-12, 2013 was a very good success and ended with a total attendance of 919 individuals. Delegates came from 32 different countries. All sessions were well attended and also the exhibition ground was well visited.

Stefan Beckmann, Senior Vice President Home Care and Formulation Technologies Europe, BASF, comments:

“The CESIO Congress provides an excellent platform for the global surfactant industry to meet with specialists from the entire value chain and to discuss new product solutions, market trends and regulatory affairs. CESIO represents an outstanding opportunity to get first-hand information from the high-level keynote lectures, presentations and poster sessions dedicated to current topics. Therefore I would like to thank the CESIO Committees for the forward-looking theme, “Surfactants Today and Tomorrow – Mapping the Megatrends”, and for the entire organization of the exhibition, the congress and the Gala Event. The amazing location of the Museu National d’Art de Catalunya and the excellent entertainment were a fantastic environment to open up the mind and to get inspired by fruitful conversations with participants from all over the world.”
