Bigger and Better than ever: American Coatings Show & Conference 2012

This spring, the American Coatings Show & Conference 2012 will open its doors for the who's who of the American coatings industry at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind. The third edition of America's leading trade show for the paint and coatings industry will be held from May 8-10, 2012. The Conference will run May 7-9, 2012 and will feature the most comprehensive program yet.

J. Andrew Doyle, President of the American Coatings Association, has noted that the new, larger venue has allowed for much-needed expansion. "The number of exhibitors and exhibit space has increased substantially, with 290 companies reserving 88, 400 square feet of booth space at the Indiana Convention Center so far, compared to 68, 100 total square feet in 2010", said Doyle of the impressive bookings already in hand two months before the show.

Dirk Ebener, CEO of NürnbergMesse North America is also very satisfied with the great response. "Currently we're already 13 percent over total bookings from the last show. This very favorable trend clearly reflects that the American Coatings SHOW has become established as the leading show in the U.S." A continually updated exhibitor list and all other important information can be found online at:

A new record for the Conference
Amanda Beyer, head of the Events Division at Vincentz Network, also reports a new record for the conference that accompanies the show. "With over 90 presentations, industry participation in the conference is stronger than ever", she said. With topics ranging from "Science Today" and "Biobased Coatings" to "Waterborne Systems", the 16 symposia and 9 pre-tutorials on industry innovations offer valuable knowledge, as well as extensive opportunities to network with experts from around the world.

Further highlights for 2012 are the presentation of the American Coatings Award and the Roon Award.

Green – from a color to a commitment
