Mirroring the gains being made by UV and EB technologies in the coatings market, RadTech 2002 had a surprisingly strong turnout, as more than 2,700 attendees came to Indianapolis, IN for the annual conference. There were literally hundreds of speakers and nearly 150 exhibitors on hand for RadTech 2002, and the focus was on the future, right from the opening talks.

"The future of well-being on Earth depends on extending the quality of human life," said Llewellyn King, founder of King Publishing and the first keynote speaker for RadTech 2002. "The only way we can achieve that is through the marvelous glories of technologists. It takes wildly passionate people to innovate. The importance of a better idea cannot be overlooked. For example, the wheel has been around a long time, but it has not been attached to a suitcase until recently."
