Registration Opens for Powder Coating Week 2021
Registration is now open for Powder Coating Week 2021, which will take place July 13 – 16
at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld in Orlando, FL.
Powder Coating Week 2021 will be comprised of three separate programs offering a
combination of training, keynote presentations, technical sessions, tabletop exhibits,
roundtable discussions, expert panels, and social activities.
“This is the perfect place for those new to powder coating to get a good understanding of
the basics of our technology,” notes PCI Executive Director Kevin Coursin, “but it’s also the
best place for those who have been involved in powder coating for a long time to improve
their powder coating knowledge, learn about new products and services and connect with
others in the industry. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to meet face-to-face. We
are happy that we are able to provide this event in July to bring the industry together again.”
