The 33rd Biennial Western Coatings Symposium and Show will be held from Sunday, October 15 through Wednesday, October 18 at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

The festivities will kick off with a welcome reception at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday at Drai’s Nightclub.

Beginning on Monday morning the Symposium will feature three full days of presentations in five tracks. New in 2017 is a full day of technical presentations on Wednesday instead of half a day as in previous shows. Approximately 110 presentations will be delivered up from 95 presentations in 2015.

The Trade Show also begins Monday morning and runs through Tuesday evening and will feature over 130 exhibitors. The trade show hours and technical programs hours never overlap, so all attendees and exhibitors can enjoy the entire show. A buffet lunch will be served both days on the show floor along with another buffet during both evening receptions. The buffet food is included in the registration. New in 2017 also is attendees will be able to buy drink tickets in advance for the evening receptions on the show floor.

There will be outstanding keynote presentations and panel discussions from leaders of the coatings and chemical industries to share insights about the most challenging issues and hottest opportunities that may help to transform your own company and your career.

Student Posters and presentations will also be featured from various Universities.

Also new for 2017, private meeting spaces will be available for purchase adjacent to the show floor.

Although most of the Sponsorship opportunities are sold out for the 2017 show already, there are a few more available.

There were 1367 attendees in 2015 and more are expected in 2017. This is going to be a fantastic show.
