American Coatings
AWARD
The prestigious American Coatings AWARD will be bestowed
upon the most outstanding technical presentation at the
American Coatings CONFERENCE. Selected and sponsored

cash award along with an attractive sculpture. The winner of
the American Coatings AWARD 2012 will be presented at the

Attendees’
Pre-conference
Survey
Drawing on the combined expertise and market knowledge
of both speakers and attendees at the American Coatings
CONFERENCE, an anonymous survey will be held some weeks/
days before the event, shedding light on the views and
expectations of this leading assembly regarding the current
research situation and market climate the American coatings
industry is experiencing. The results and an analysis of this
survey will be presented during the plenary session of the
conference.
