About

THE EASTERN COATINGS SHOW

Features
Read full description

Hosted by the Philadelphia Society for Coatings Technology, the New England Society for Coatings Technology and the Metropolitan New York Coatings Association, this show is intended to offer educational and technical presentations to create a profound understanding of the theory, the science, the manufacturing and the marketing of coatings to highlight the improvement of coatings performance and functionality beyond traditional expectations. The Eastern Coatings Show was established in 2013 and was warmly welcomed by the industry and it is our intent to exceed the quality and professionalism with the symposia and exhibit offerings of our second show.

The call

The clearest difference is ads: AFPM at none against THE EASTERN COATINGS SHOW's shown. THE EASTERN COATINGS SHOW's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
