Comment: It's an interesting draft article, but none of the cites, as far as I can see, evidence the notability of this conference. To take one example, https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/ci.2012.34.5.39b/html is in effect a press release. Tagishsimon (talk) 21:56, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Comment: We're not interested in what APME has to say about APME, we want to know what others (independent and reliable secondary sources) have said about it. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:31, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering (APME) is an international conference aiming at bringing together scientists working in the broad area of polymer science in order to present latest achievements in this field.[1]
This international polymer conference series was created at the initiative of Dr. Munmaya K. Mishra and Prof. Yusuf Yağci (1952-2023).[2][3] Dr. Mishra and Prof. Yağci both served as honorary cochairmen in later series of conferences. This biennial non-profit international conference is currently being organized by different polymer research groups around the globe. The first conferences were held in the USA (New York in 1995, Orlando in 1997, Colonial Williamsburg in 1999, Gatlinburg in 2001) followed by Montreal, Canada in 2003; Istanbul, Turkey in 2005; Miami, USA in 2007; Dresden Germany in 2009; Cappadocia Turkey in 2011; Durham, United Kingdom in 2013; Yokohama, Japan in 2015; Ghent, Belgium in 2017; and Stellenbosch, South-Africa in 2019. The 14th conference initially planned in Pisa, Italy in 2021 was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. Subsequently the 14th APME conference took place in Paris, France in 2023. The next 15th APME conference has been scheduled in Sicily, Italy 2025 (information coming soon).
