"As the years have passed since our part- nership with FABTECH began, CCAI's FINISHING Pavilion and conference sessions have continued to attract more and more attendees," notes Anne Goyer, CCAI executive director. "I expect this year's show in Las Vegas to once again set attendance records for those planning to evaluate finishing operations on the show floor. We encourage attendees to plan to stay at least two to three days to take in the exhibition, conference ses- sions, and special events. Pre-planning your schedule helps attendees immensely in navigating the large show floor. You can use the planning tools available on the show website to help." The CCAI FINISHING Pavilion is filled with exhibiting companies that will bring countless products, services, inno- vative ideas, and equipment to attendees interested in all finishing technologies.
