American Coatings Show & Conference 2010: Second edition ties into success of the 2008 premiere

The second edition of the American Coatings Show & Conference promises to be just as successful as the 2008 premiere. With 328 participating companies from 17 countries and a net exhibition space of 68,100 sq ft, this year’s displayed products and services are certain to be just as appealing to visitors from the international paint and coatings industry despite current economic conditions. In fact, this year the Charlotte Convention Center located in Charlotte, North Carolina, will provide even more space for exhibits by this highly innovative industry.

In view of the number of pre-registered participants for the Conference, top-notch discussions can be expected not only at presentations but in the breaks between sessions and during other networking opportunities. About 800 conference attendees have now conveniently pre-registered online – a figure that already exceeds the final participant count in 2008! The trade show will take place from Tuesday, April 13, to Thursday, April 15, 2010. The Conference will begin one day prior and runs from Monday, April 12 to Wednesday, April 14, 2010. The American Coatings Show & Conference is organized by the American Coatings Association, Washington DC, and Vincentz Network of Hannover, Germany, and run by NürnbergMesse North America based in Atlanta, Georgia.
