powder and bulk solids career mentoring for process engineer

Granular Guides
Mentorship and on-the-job learning are the building blocks for your long-term success within the dry processing industry. While both lay the groundwork for your initial and continued development in the industry, if you don’t have direct access to those professional development programs, it can be difficult to know where to go for support. That’s where we come in.

Introducing Granular Guides, the iPBS mentorship program. Spanning all three days of the expo, industry veterans will be paired with professionals just starting their dry processing careers. To join, just opt-in during your registration.

If you have any questions regarding the Granular Guides program, please contact iPBS Event Manager, Morgan Grubb.

Booth Crawl
Visit with exhibitors and enjoy a beer at participating booths on the expo floor. What a better way to celebrate a successful day on the show floor than with refreshments, networking, and the chance to learn about products directly from exhibitors. Wind down with your peer at meet-and-greets on the expo floor at participating booths!

Wednesday, April 30 at 3:30 p.m.

Join Women in Processing

Introducing Women in Processing, a new networking group dedicated to supporting and empowering women in the powder and bulk solids processing industry.

Despite the increasing demand for skilled professionals in this field, women are vastly underrepresented, making up only 16.5% of the engineering workforce. Women in Processing aims to address this disparity by providing a space for women to connect and build support networks, mentor each other, and grow their careers.

Led by a team of committed industry leaders, our group will offer virtual and in-person meetups, networking events, and learning opportunities to foster community and help women feel accepted and supported in this male-dominated industry. Join us today and be part of the change!
