                                           combination of training, keynote  presentations, technical  sessions, tabletop exhibits,

                                             “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.”
