Showcase Updates

Special Events at PE Showcase '25

The Alliance is thrilled to announce an exciting lineup of Special Events that bring extra energy and fun to PE Showcase '25!

This year’s raffles take center stage — with prize drawings spread across all three days so everyone has a chance to win. Stop by the Registration Desk to check out the fantastic prizes on display! Best of all, every dollar raised supports the Engineers Without Borders Peru Project, a cause the Alliance and our members have proudly championed for the past two years.

We’re also featuring a Spouses Program — three days of local adventures that include a visit to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, bike rentals for scenic rides and a dolphin sandbar cruise. Spouses are warmly invited to join in for evening fun at either the Marina Cantina dinner or the Columbia Restaurant Spanish Wine Dinner on Wednesday night.

And for our golfers — we’ve got two great outings this year! The first, sponsored by Atkore, will be held Tuesday at the historic Donald Ross–designed Dunedin Golf Club north of the hotel venue. Then, after Showcase wraps up, a few lucky players will head south to experience the world-class Streamsong Resort, one of America’s top 100 golf destinations.

Join us for everything — the learning, the fun, and the excitement that make PE Showcase unforgettable!

PE Alliance finalizes Session Program

The PE Alliance has finalized the Schedule and the program for PE Showcase '25. The four day program is divided into two sections. The first half is devoted to Certified Professionals and Deep Dive sessions. It is being held on Tuesday and Wednesday the 2nd and 3rd of December. It features 14 long format sessions designed for the newer staff member. The longer format permits more attention on the fundamentals of HDPE products and applications.

Three sessions headline Deep Dive: 9 Markets Defined, Data Center Basics and HDPE History of Innovation. All three are timely and valuable sessions for all HDPE professionals. The Alliance is also offering fusion training for your staff. So if you want small diameter butt, medium diameter butt or EF training, sign up.

Showcase '25 officially kicks off its regular program in Showcase Hall at 4:30 PM on Wednesday the 3rd of December. Sponsored by Strongbridge, Showcase Hall is the gathering place for networking and raffle pulls at Showcase. All exhibitors have a space and all breaks are held there. Instead of the usual pipe bursting making noise in the Hall, this year Murphy pipelines is bringing their compression fit rig to show off the capabilities of HDPE pipe in that exciting application.

Thursday and Friday will see 18 more sessions headlined by Florida Projects, Redneck Engineering and Going Big: Science, Sizes and Markets. There is more than enough for all HDPE pipe professionals at this year's Showcase.

Thank you to our Platinum Sponsors

Thank you to our Platinum Sponsors, WL Plastics, Strongbridge, Modern Polymer Pipe & Extrusions and Pipeline Plastics whose commitment make this event affordable for everyone.  WL Plastics has changed it up this year. Instead of sponsoring Poly Feud they are sponsoring the various contractors who are headlining this year’s installation focused program.  What a great idea! The team from Strongbridge is back again sponsoring the popular Showcase Hall and a Wednesday wine dinner up the street from the hotel.  Things kick off on Wednesday afternoon with some craft beers and networking in the Hall.  New to the Platinum ranks this year is the team from Modern Polymer Pipe & Extrusions who are sponsoring the beverage mugs for the first 100 people to check in with Emma!  Mike Leathers and his Pipeline Plastics team are hosting the Showcase Dinner on Thursday night at the beach. This is the only night we ask everyone to not schedule other events as it is always a wonderful Showcase event.
