The American Coatings Show and Conference (ACS and ACC) will be held April 30-May 2 in Indianapolis, IN. This is the leading North American trade show for the paint and coatings industry.
The ACC will be held concurrently with the ACS. Themed “Innovations in Coatings Technology: Shaping Our Future,” the conference will feature approximately 100 technical sessions from industry leaders. Dr. Robert Roop, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Axalta Coating Systems, will be giving this year’s keynote address. Dr. Roop’s topic will be “Coatings Innovation in the Future Sustainability and Performance,” a hot topic in the industry.
Show organizers noted that ACS is on track to break records for both exhibitors and attendees.
Danielle Chalom, managing vice president, communications for the American Coatings Association, noted that the American Coatings Show is growing “exponentially.”
According to Chalom, they are expecting 570 exhibitors at the 2024 show, compared to the previous record of 360. “And we’re also breaking exhibition space records – we’ll have the most square footage at our show to date: 137,000 square feet. We know people want to have in-person interaction, and this is still a really important element for customer prospecting and connecting with peers.
“We are also expecting to shatter attendee records: response has been steady and growing as we get closer to the show,” Chalom said. “At this time, we are anticipating some 9,000 attendees. On the conference side, we received so many abstract submissions, and we know we have an excellent program, and the speaker engagement has been stellar.”
This month’s issue features a special Exhibitor’s Showcase for select suppliers to the paint and coatings industry who will be participating in the American Coatings Show and Conference, as well as a sneak peek at some highlights at this biennial event.
