Sustainability the Clear Focus at 2011 ECS

摘要

The 2011 European Coatings Show and Congress wrapped up on March 31 after four days of presentations and exhibits on the latest developments and innovations in the global coatings market. Organizer Vin-centz Network was certain that the number of attendees would surpass the drop in attendance that was seen back in 2009, but was unsure if they would exceed the record numbers of 2007. Preliminary reports show that over 26,000 visitors attended the event, which beats the previous record set in 2007. Exhibitors (887) from 45 countries presented their products and services on a record net display area of over 30,000 m2 (322,917 square feet). The Congress reports 648 participants from 40 countries, with 150 papers in 25 sessions. The event had an international share of about 60% for both exhibitors and visitors.
