With more than 25 years of global leadership experience across the chemical industry, Meyer is a recognized voice on strategy, innovation, and market transformation. As host of the podcast, “The Chemical Show,” she brings a unique perspective on the trends shaping the future of chemicals and materials. Her keynote will set the tone for the conference, exploring how companies can navigate a rapidly evolving landscape where traditional advantages—such as scale, efficiency, and execution—are being redefined. 

“We are excited to welcome Victoria as our 2026 keynote speaker,” said Jason Sloan, director of CPI. “She brings a deep understanding of the chemical sector and a forward-looking perspective on where this complex industry is headed. As companies adapt to shifting market dynamics and evolving expectations around innovation and sustainability, Victoria will provide actionable insights as attendees think about growth, competitiveness, and long-term success.” 

The three-day Polyurethanes Technical Conference will feature Meyer’s keynote address on October 5, alongside a robust program of technical sessions, paper and poster presentations, and networking opportunities. Attendees can also participate in signature events, including a golf outing, the second annual Women in Polyurethanes Luncheon, and the prestigious Polyurethane Innovation Award.
