Where Brand Leaders and Ingredient Suppliers Meet
Join senior scientists, strategic leaders, and industry executives for a program built around the decisions shaping fabric and home care today — and over the next three to five years.
The next Forum will be held at the Hilton Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, USA, May 3–5, 2027
Why Attend the FORUM?
Two audiences meet here, and each needs what the other brings.
Brand owners use the Forum to set their company's technical direction for the years ahead.
Ingredient suppliers and innovators get the earliest point of real influence — not responding to a brief, but helping write it.
See around corners: Get early visibility into regulatory shifts, emerging chemistries, and consumer trends before they hit your planning cycle.
Build the right relationships: Meet the brand owners or suppliers you'll need to execute with, in one place.
Leave with decisions, not just notes: The structured format moves from direction to solutions to execution, so you leave with next steps.
Access to the AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo: Additional presentations and events relevant to fabric and home care, plus entry to the Surfactants & Detergents Division Reception.
Location
The Hilton Chicago sits in the heart of the Chicago Loop, on Michigan Avenue across from Grant Park — walking distance to downtown dining, museums, and the lakefront.
The hotel is roughly 45 minutes from O'Hare International Airport and 25 minutes from Midway International Airport, both served by major domestic and international carriers.
