The Detroit Society for Coatings Technology (DSCT) is sponsoring the 33rd Annual FOCUS Conference. Themed, “Transformation in Transportation Coatings,” the meeting will be held on Thursday, May 1, 2008, at the MSU Management Center in Troy, Michigan.  Persons or organizations wishing to make a 30 minute presentation at the conference should submit presentation title, abstract, and contact information to the conference chairperson, Renee Shreves (renee.shreves@dowreichhold.com) by November 16, 2007.  Presentations should be aimed at practical applications of concepts, materials or equipment for the coatings industry. 

The conference is an educational event for coatings formulators, manufacturers, end users, raw material and equipment suppliers, educators and students. It features speakers in two tracks, and typically offers separate morning and afternoon tutorials on technical subject matter. 

FOCUS 2008 will also feature an all day Coatings Showcase exhibit by suppliers to the coatings industry. The registration fee is very modest, and includes lunch and coffee breaks.  In 2007, the FOCUS Conference attracted approximately 200 attendees.
