The American Coatings SHO W and CONFERENCE 2012 will take place in Indianapolis for the first time
˜ Indianapolis, IN, is the new venue
for the American Coatings SHOW (ACS)
2012, which will be held from May
8-10 at the Indiana Convention Center.
Building on the success of the first two
shows, the organizers are confident
that the third ACS will also be a great
sensation.
With about 200 paper submissions, the
American Coatings CONFERENCE (ACC) 2012
has once again generated a great deal of
attention. The conference will take place
from May 7-9, 2012, at the Indiana Convention Center in conjunction with the
ACS. It will feature 96 contributions in 16
sessions as well as a poster session and
an award ceremony.
“Once again, the third, bi-annual Ameri-
can Coatings SHOW and CONFERENCE will
set the trend for future developments in
the paint and coatings industry. This event
has quickly become the premier show and
conference for the coatings industry in
North America,” says Cheryl Matthews,
of the American Coatings Association
(ACA). The show will offer innovative fea-
tures that provide immediate business
opportunities, as well as showcase for
the production of high-grade, competitive
coatings, paints, sealants, construction
chemicals and adhesives. Cheryl Mat-
thews continues: “In addition, there are
many new and exciting opportunities that
will happen directly on the show floor.
Several new forms of
sponsorship are avail-
able. There will also
be enhancements to
the New Product Show-
case area, the Interna-
tional Buyers Lounge, and the University
Village.”
“We are very excited about the third edi-
tion of the American Coatings SHOW and
CONFERENCE,” adds Amanda Beyer of Vin-
centz Network. “All signs clearly indicate
that we will again have strong increases in
all areas — exhibitors, exhibition space,
visitors as well as conference delegates.”
At the 2010 show held in Charlotte, NC,
328 exhibitors from 17 countries dis-
played their products in nearly 70,000
square feet of exhibition space. The ACS
2010 attracted some 6,700 attendees.
