American Coatings Show (ACS)

The American Coatings Show and Conference is hosted by AC Media, in collaboration with the American Coatings Association and Vincentz Network (Disclaimer: European Coatings is published by Vincentz Network). The biennial trade show and technical conference is dedicated to serving as a global business platform and educational forum for the paint and coatings industry, offering a complete spectrum of current and future trends and technologies.

Asia Coatings Congress is the leading event for coatings professionals within or looking to expand into the Asia Pacific region. ACC is the ideal place to discover the latest trends affecting the region’s environmental, manufacturing and industrial needs and provides a fantastic networking opportunity for the international coatings industry personnel. This unique conference gives you the opportunity to discuss the latest industry developments, innovation, solutions and more, whilst networking with industry experts and senior decision-makers from the coatings world.

The American Coatings Association (ACA), in partnership with Vincentz Network (VN), is calling for abstracts for research to be presented at the American Coatings Conference 2022 (ACC). This major technology forum for the coatings industry, which will take place April 5-7, 2022 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, is held concurrently with the American Coatings Show (ACS).

With the theme, Strong and Resilient: Innovation in Coatings Technology," the conference will highlight recent industry-driven advances, focusing on the newest breakthroughs and scientific research crucial to support continued advances by the coatings industry and its expanding customer base.

The ACC is a record-setting gathering of leading experts from paint companies, raw material suppliers, academia, and government laboratories and is attended by industry representatives from around the world. Research scientists are encouraged to support global information exchange by presenting their work at this recognized, world-class technical and scientific forum.

You are kindly invited to submit abstracts detailing your previously unpublished, high-level technical research results for consideration for presentation at the conference. Selection of papers and posters for the ACC is highly competitive. Interested researchers must ensure that their submitted abstracts convey the scientific significance of their work and clear advances over any prior presentations or publications. The ACC showcases only new, innovative work and research. Topics may include advances in any coating category or raw material, novel formulations, laboratory and analytical methods, processing technologies and equipment, and environmental/health/sustainability benefits.

Innovations on coatings to be applied to new or alternative substrates (i.e., light-weighting), optimized aesthetics, expanded functionality, and novel application (and curing) equipment utility are especially welcome.

In addition, organizers of the ACC are interested in thoughtful analysis of research and development, or innovation management challenges faced by industry professionals, including continuing education and professional advancement. ACC especially would like to include research centered around such innovations arising from the global pandemic.

The conference organizers select proposed presentations for the ACC based on three key criteria:

· Scientific advancement

·Novelty

·Potential value added to the industry
