At last, after many months of preparation, the final countdown has begun and we are now only weeks and days away from launching Coatings for Africa 2013!

We have had such an overwhelming response from the market that soon we will be able to announce that our exhibition space has been completely sold out. In addition to this we have prepared a full programme comprising high quality scientific papers ensuring that our symposium will be of great value to technologists that want to be informed and to be kept abreast of the latest international trends and environmental issues.

All that remains now is for word of mouth to spread the excitement and promise of this landmark event. Please allocate time in your busy calendars in May to attend the biggest Paint Show in Africa and to network with the great many members of this important manufacturing sector.

Remember it is a symposium organised by the industry for the industry – so please make sure that you register without delay and that you are there to share and celebrate this grand occasion!

Kindest regards

Danny Grady
LOC Chairman
