The goal of the Eastern Coatings Show is to further the advancement of coatings technology and offer educational and technical presentations to create a profound understanding of the theory, science, manufacturing and marketing of coatings to highlight the improvement of coatings performance and functionality beyond traditional expectations.

Technical papers will be presented during show hours. The ECS Technical Committee will be responsible for coordinating the agenda and logistics of all speakers.

The presentation format should be as close to a short course as possible. Presentations providing educational insights about emerging technology will be given priority.
