America's new Coatings Show

摘要

The first American Coatings Show and Conference was held from June 2-5 at the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina. The trade show featured 332 exhibitors from 14 countries. Companies from abroad accounted for 24 percent of the exhibitors and, in addition to the United States, leading countries represented at the show included China, Germany, India, Canada, South Korea and Great Britain. Roughly 5,600 trade visitors (not including exhibitors) attended the show. The Congress, which featured more than 70 presentations, had 750 attendees — more than twice the attendance originally expected. The keynotes were outstanding and were packed to a standing-room-only crowd.
