Pittcon 2007 announces move from New Orleans to Chicago

25 February-1 March

The Pittsburgh Conference announced that Pittcon 2007 would be moved from New Orleans to Chicago. Dates of the event are Feb. 25 to March 1, 2007. At the same time, the committee confirmed its commitment to return the conference to New Orleans in 2008 as planned. Before announcing its decision, the Pittcon Committee met with the New Orleans Convention Bureau officials, various local civic and business leaders, and visited the city in person to assess city infrastructure, safety, transportation, housing and hospitality. “Despite considerable progress in rebuilding its infrastructure and revitalizing support services, New Orleans continues to face significant marketing challenges in rebuilding its image,” said Kevin McKaveney, Pittcon President and Chairman of the board. “We believe that moving Pittcon 2007 to Chicago will give New Orleans adequate time to reshape its image and pave the way for a successful return in 2008.” More information about Pittcon can be found at: www.pittcon.org

8-10 May (congresses from May 7)Exhibition Centre, Nürnberg, Germany

The European Coatings Show – the name stands for the full range of products and services for the production of high-grade and competitive coatings, paints, sealants, construction chemicals and adhesives. Besides the comprehensive spectrum of products and services, the worldwide community of producers and users at the industry's leading international exhibition in Nürnberg always finds the latest topics and top- class information at the congress. “The experts are agreed: There is no way round the European Coatings Show for anyone who wants to be the first to see the innovations,” says Esther Schwencke, Head of Events Division at Vincentz Network. “This inspiring and trend-setting event has long been the world's leading exhibition – and is constantly expanding its leadership role.”The quality of the 2007 edition is again guaranteed by the combined expertise of the event partners Vincentz Network and NürnbergMesse – the right recipe according to Richard Krowoza, Project Manager of the European Coatings Show at NürnbergMesse: “The event has moved in one direction only since it started 15 years ago: upwards! A dynamic market, an extremely successful information and dialogue platform for the worldwide coatings industry and the right partners make the European Coatings Show so successful. Both exhibitors and visitors profit from this.” 687 exhibitors and around 20,000 trade visitors from 87 countries came to Nürnberg for the last event in 2005. “We are certainly not resting on our laurels because of this success story,” continues Esther Schwencke. “Our aim is to permanently optimize and develop the European Coatings Show with a unique survey of the industry, exclusive presentations, exhibitors' product presentations, industry get- togethers and discussion forums.” For further information please visit the conference web site: www.coatings.de/events/ecs07/cfp/info.cfm
