Sponsored by the Arizona, Golden Gate, Pacific Northwest and Los Angeles Societies for Coatings Technology, WCS is considered the largest regional coatings show in North America.

The event will include a three-day technical program, a two-day tabletop exhibition and multiple networking opportunities.

The WCS Committee is seeking non-commercial abstracts focused on new innovations and global and regional trends. Suggested topic areas include:

  • Product trends and sustainability
  • Leadership, marketing, and M&A insights
  • Developments in supply chain, manufacturing, and regulations

Submissions must include a 100-200 word abstract, a presentation title, speaker biography, contact information, and a Word document (PDFs will not be accepted). The deadline to submit is April 4, 2025. Accepted speakers will be notified by May 30, and final presentations are due July 11.

Abstracts and inquiries should be emailed to Technical Program Co-Chairs Kevin Egan at kegan@behr.com and Steve Johnson at steve.scienceguy@gmail.com.
