Powder Coating Week 2021 Hosted by PCI

Every year, the powder coating community looks forward to Powder Coating Week, hosted by the Powder Coating Institute (PCI). In 2021, it will include the Powder Coating Technical Conference and Tabletop Exhibition, the Powder Coating 101 Workshop and the Custom Coater Forum, all at the Renaissance Orlando at Seaworld® in Orlando, Florida. This series of events is dedicated to education, networking and building connections among powder coating professionals. 

The Powder Coating 101 Workshop is a 1½ day workshop that provides education to those just starting out. It focuses on materials, application, reclamation, testing and evaluation, quality control and other essentials. Attendees can expect to learn from industry experts and network with speakers and other attendees. The workshop provides a foundation for the technical conference later in the week.

The Custom Coater Forum provides a space for custom coaters to network with peers and industry leaders. Attendees can expect to hear presentations on timely issues such as minimizing rejects, automation, crisis management, non-destructive testing methods and more. The forum will also include roundtable discussions for sharing information.
