Testimonials

"F.P."

“This Symposium and Show has been the very best I have attended. We had the opportunity to speak to many prospective customers, technical presentations were superb and the ambiance was second to none. I will definitely be looking forward to the next one. ”

“This is a great show and conference. Every detail is carefully thought out and executed well. The value one receives for the price is excellent with reception, lunches, coffee etc. included. Glad to see drink tickets included at the fabulous reception Sunday night.”

"I.T."

“I had a very positive experience as speaker at the WCS this year. Every contact I had from your committee, folks in the welcoming area, and the individual moderator for the room was extremely helpful. I had no issues with equipment and the audience participation was great. I believe we had 100 in the room and about 5-8 questions at the end that were thought provoking. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your portion of the coatings industry.”
