ABTECH returns to McCormick Place in Chicago, IL, from September 13-16 with a one-stop-shop where you can meet suppliers, see the latest technologies, learn how to increase profits, and discover
tools to improve productivity while networking with industry peers. The finishing industry and the manufacturing community are eager to get back together and get back to business. The FABTECH team is working closely with McCormick Place, the City of Chicago and its vendor partners to welcome everyone back safely. Protocols are in place to ensure the health and safety of all attendees and exhibitors. Information is ever-changing so you can check the FABTECH website frequently for the most recent updates and safety commitment (www.fabtechexpo.com/safetyfirst). Training and education have always been at the forefront of CCAI’s mission. The conference program (www.fabtechexpo.com/education) at FABTECH is the perfect platform for CCAI to showcase this, featuring 21 sessions encompassing a wide range of technical presentations, from basic to advanced, addressing topics of interest for everyone involved in finishing technologies. New this year, CCAI has added two outstanding workshops to the Finishing conference program. The CCAI Industrial Finishing Safety Workshop,

developed by CCAI members who are experts in safety for industrial finishing processes, features critical information to safely operate an industrial finishing line, focusing primarily on NFPA 33. And for Spanishspeaking attendees, the Powder Coating 101 Workshop in Spanish provides intensive instruction on the basics of the powder coating technology and the processes involved. Both workshops will be held over 1 ½ days and include workshop materials and lunch on the first day. As excitement builds for this year’s event, exhibitors, presenters and attendees alike are ready to make connections in person at FABTECH 2021.
