A new conference – BIG IDEAS for UV+EB Technology, which will replace the regional uv.eb WEST event –  is slated for March 19-20, 2019 in Redondo Beach, CA, RadTech announced.

The conference will focus on the “Big Ideas” for UV+EB rapidly emerging on a global scale. This two-day conference and table-top exhibition will feature leading-edge conference sessions focused on “Big Ideas” like moving from 3D Printing to additive manufacturing with UV technology, developing data-driven materials, the increased use and development of UVC LED, new applications for UV+EB, and more.

BIG IDEAS will offer the industry a forum to discuss the future of UV+EB technology while learning more about the applications and science that will enable developments two years, five years, and ten years down the road.

The 2019 POWDER COATING Technical Conference & Tabletop Exhibition will be held April 1 - 4, 2019 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld. 
 
“We are very excited about the location selected for PCI’s Powder Coating 2019, the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld,” states PCI’s Executive Director, Trena Benson.  “Following the very positive comments about Powder Coating 2018 and the increased attendance, we are enthusiastic about getting to work on PCI’s next technical conference. Continuing to deliver outstanding education to the powder coating industry is a top priority for us.  We hope everyone will mark their calendars now and plan to join us next year for another great conference at aterrific location.”
 
The four-day event will kick off with PCI’s popular Powder Coating 101: Basic Essentials Workshop to be held April 1 and 2.  The workshop includes a comprehensive agenda that covers all the basics of powder coating operations. It is conducted by PCI member company experts in a non-commercial setting.  Workshop attendees will enjoy a discount when registering for the technical conference and exhibition as well. 

The PCI Technical Conference and Tabletop Exhibition will immediately follow the Powder Coating 101 Workshop on Wednesday, April 3 through Thursday, April 4.  Complete with general sessions and concurrent technical programming, attendees will have access to a variety of powder coating information as well as personal interaction with suppliers. There will also be social activities and ample networking time with tabletop exhibitors and speakers.
 
The tabletop display area will feature powder coating manufacturers, powder coating application equipment companies, system houses, chemical suppliers and various services that support the powder coating industry.  Tabletops and sponsorship opportunities will be available beginning in July after last year’s sponsors and exhibitors have the opportunity to select first.
 

Through a series of special lectures from notable industry experts, focused technical sessions aimed at fully exploring key topics, and critical advanced training sessions, the 2019 ACA CoatingsTech Conference offers an unprecedented opportunity for all levels of coatings professionals to participate and learn from each other.

The Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI) and the Powder Coating Institute (PCI) will, once again, co-locate for their 2019 Annual Meetings to be held June 16-20, 2019 at the Sonesta Resort on Hilton Head Island, SC.
 
CCAI will conduct their annual social activities, committee work and business meetings to start the week, followed by presentations and events held in conjunction with PCI, including a welcome reception, joint general sessions and a golf outing. PCI will round out the week with their association committee and business meetings and the PCI Hall of Fame Banquet. This is the third year the associations have co-located. This concept allows members to reduce the number of meetings they attend each year and lower the costs of attending various meetings.  Members will enjoy all the regular annual meeting traditions and events while gaining the opportunity to meet new industry peers.
 
“I think it’s a great idea! Both associations experience many of the same challenges.  If we can bring the most experienced, most knowledgeable and quite frankly the best in the industry together in one place to learn a little from each other and improve industry, then why not,” said Bill Oney, president of CCAI’s National Board of Directors.
 
“Co-locating the PCI annual association meeting with CCAI is a unique opportunity for our members. Having so much knowledge, expertise and experience joined in one location facilitates networking and the exchange of ideas about products and finishing materials and processes,” PCI president Chris Merritt added. “This broad exchange is across many markets and technologies served by the active members throughout both associations, proving quite valuable to all who participate in the event. The real icing on the cake is having the opportunity to do all of this while having fun at a joint event and growing lasting relationships for the future.”
 
CCAI’s meeting will run from June 16-19 while PCI’s meeting will run from June 18-20.  Joint events and sessions will take place from Monday evening, June 16 through Wednesday morning, June 19.  Several registration categories will be available, allowing members to attend one or both meetings.
