Meetings World Conference in 1 9 8 6 A second World Conference on Soaps and Detergents will be held during the fall of 1986 in Europe under the primary sponsorship of the American Oil Chemists' Society. T.P. Matson of Conoco Inc., one of the planners for the original 1977 World Conference on Soaps and Detergents held in Montreux, Switzerland, has been named as general chairman for the 1986 meeting. Matson said he expects to organize a planning committee by fall when initial decisions as to program content, a specific title, date and location will be considered. Subject matter will closely parallel the 1977 meeting, Matson said, which had an emphasis on detergents. Topics to be covered most likely will include world trends; raw materials economics and supplies; ingredients, including surfactants and builders; special applications; processing; and performance testing, Matson said. "We will give special attention to question-and-answer sessions at which registrants can discuss topics with speakers," he added. The 1977 conference attracted approximately 900 persons from more than 40 nations.
