Held every two years, the Western Coatings Symposium and Show serves the people and businesses that formulate and manufacture coatings in Western USA and Canada.  Attendees can expect to come away from our show with a greater knowledge of the newest technical trends and advancements in coatings formulating, as well as an expanded network of key technical contacts in the industry.

The Western Coatings Symposium and Show is the main income-generating vehicle for  the LASCT, PNWSCT, GGSCT and ASCT.  The primary mandate of these four organizations is to:

  • provide educational and networking opportunities for our members
  • award scholarships/grants to students and academic institutions predominantly focused on coatings research or related fields of study.
