The first American Coatings SHOW in 2008 was a great success. Now, all eyes are focused on Charlotte in April 13 - 15, 2010 for the next show – because, once again, the show and conference will be the best source of inspiration and trend-setting in the industry.

Featuring 331 exhibitors, the first American Coatings SHOW hosted 5,600 industry attendees from 48 countries. Visitors gained immediate access to timely information about state-of-the-art developments in raw materials, laboratory and production equipment, testing and measuring equipment, and services for the coatings industry.

Once again, the 2010 American Coatings SHOW will set the trend for future developments in the paint and coatings industry.

The National Paint and Coatings Association and Vincentz Network, together with NürnbergMesse North America, have designed an outstanding industry event. While offering many parallels to the European Coatings SHOW, the American Coatings SHOW will provide a strategic and operational alignment that will be invaluable to our industry.
