| American Coatings Show provides some Southern hospitality The American Coatings Show and Conference from June 2–5, 2008, is destined for a great start in Charlotte, NC, with over 320 exhibitors and a top-notch program of presentations. The available exhibition space in the Charlotte Convention Center for the premiere of the American Coatings Show is almost booked. Here, in early June, the largest trade show for the American paint and coatings industry will await industry visitors. In addition to viewing the comprehensive products and services offered by the exhibiting companies, visitors will also be able to learn about the latest developments and innovations at the Product Presentation Forum. Participants in the three-day American Coatings Conference, which is starting one day before the trade show on Monday, June 2, 2008, can also look forward to a top-notch event. Seventy-two lectures distributed over 12 panel sessions, more than 40 poster sessions, 6 pre-conference tutorials as well as the presentation of the first American Coatings Award will all add up to a forum for experts from industry, research and science. With over 660,000 residents in the city itself and about 1.6 million in the greater urban area, Charlotte is the largest – and easiest to reach – major business center between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. The Charlotte/Douglas International Airport is the fastest growing airport in the United States. An average of 600 flights daily to 120 destinations and the accessibility of the interstate make it extremely easy to reach. The business climate in Charlotte is outstanding in the truest sense of the word: "Fortune Magazine" and "Entrepreneur Magazine" list the "Queen City" among the best business locations in the USA. But there's still more to Charlotte. The U.S. Conference of Mayors elected the city the nation's "Most Livable City." With an extensive program for sports and cultural events and broad offerings in gastronomy and entertainment, Charlotte has the right form of relaxation for everyone. That also makes the American Coatings Show and Conference 2008 an excellent opportunity to become better acquainted with the famous "Southern hospitality." write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
