| ACS becomes focus for paint and coatings industry in North America The American Coatings Show and Conference, now fully endorsed and supported by both NPCA and FSCT, celebrates its premiere in Charlotte, NC, June 2 – 5, 2008. The show will thus become the top event for the sector in North America. The National Paint & Coatings Association (NPCA) and the Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology (FSCT) signed a Memorandum of Agreement in February, which outlines the details of a prospective merger of the two organizations. As part of the merger, FSCT and NPCA have agreed to combine the International Coatings Expo (ICE) with the American Coatings Show and Conference (ACS) to be held in Charlotte, NC. With the combination of ICE into the ACS, ICE 2008 in Chicago will be cancelled. Under the new agreement, both NPCA and FSCT fully endorse and support the American Coatings Show as the premier industry exhibition for the coatings industry. The American Coatings Conference opens the day before the trade show on Monday, June 2, 2008. 72 lectures distributed between 12 specialist sessions, over 40 poster sessions, 5 pre-conference tutorials as well as the presentation of the 1st American Coatings Award promise a unique exchange between the experts from the areas of industry, research and teaching – and offer plenty of opportunity for networking. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
