With a strong desire from attendees and exhibitors alike, PCI’s Powder Coating Week 2022 returns to the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld in Orlando, FL, from March 7-9. The event will again comprise three separate programs that offer a combination of training, keynote presentations, technical sessions, tabletop exhibits, roundtable discussions, expert panels, and social activities. Three days packed with all things powder coating. Powder Coating Week 2022 is the best opportunity for everyone involved in powder coating to expand their knowledge and connect with others.

The schedule for the week has been condensed and allows Workshop and Custom Coater Forum attendees to visit the Tabletop Exhibition on the first evening. The week begins with PCI’s Powder Coating 101 Workshop on Monday, March 7, and Tuesday, March 8. The Custom Coater Forum will take place on Monday, March 7, as a one-day program. The Powder Coating Technical Conference begins with breakfast and an advanced general session on Tuesday, March 8, and continues with keynote speakers and breakout sessions through Wednesday, March 9. The Tabletop Exhibition will be open Monday evening and during Tuesday’s lunch and evening reception to allow attendees from all three events a chance to visit with exhibitors. On Wednesday morning, a strong closing session features Adam Genei from Mobsteel, Detroit Steel Wheel Co. Attendees won’t want to miss Adam’s dynamic and vital presentation about our workforce.

“We are so excited to return to the Renaissance Orlando in March, where we have had excellent Powder Coating Week events the past several years. We are even more excited about the growth and diversity this event is seeing,” says Kevin Coursin, PCI Executive Director. “We had so many first-timers last year and those who were beginning in the powder coating industry. Plus, many of them were younger people who are the future of industrial finishing. We can’t wait to see everyone again in March in Orlando.”

Attendees will gain knowledge of powder coatings and the powder coating process from industry experts and have the opportunity to network with speakers and other attendees during lunch and breaks. They will also benefit by attending the Tabletop Exhibition reception on Monday evening. This PCI training workshop is unbiased, commercial-free, and provides an excellent foundation for the technical conference that follows later in the week.
