Finishing Education at FABTECH…More Than the Exhibit Floor
Getting ahead and staying ahead takes more than just buying the right products and getting a good price. Continued training and education will keep you in touch with the latest innovations to boost your career, improve your profits and keep your business moving in the right direction. FABTECH brings together experts from all aspects of the finishing industry, which creates the perfect platform to conduct a diverse and high-quality technical program.
The Chemical Coaters Association continues to update their education program each year to diversify the technical offerings and bring new and innovative sessions to the industry. The comprehensive Finishing Education Program, combined with a wide array of technologies represented on the exhibit floor, makes FABTECH the place where the finishing industry comes together to grow their business.
“CCAI has always taken education of our members and the finishing industry very seriously,” notes CCAI Executive Director, Anne Goyer. “Education and training staff is what allows companies to improve their products and grow their business. We believe that companies that empower their employees to continuously learn gain tremendous benefits in the long run. FABTECH is the perfect place to visit with exhibitors, check out products and services, and take in educational sessions.”
Attendees had great comments about CCAI’s speakers and presentations from last year. Here are a few of them: “Excellent overview of powder coating processes and areas of concern;” “We need to install a new system and this course was a tremendous help with designing a better system;” and “As a new coater, this was a good class with good energy,”
“We work very hard to develop programming that is timely and important to those attending FABTECH,” Goyer continued. We review evaluations from previous FABTECH attendees to learn about what is important to them and develop programming around their needs. There are always plenty of new educational opportunities in the finishing track and this year is no exception.”
