SSPC 2001 Set For November in Atlanta

Scheduled to be held November 11 - 15, 2001 at the Georgia World Congress

Center, Atlanta, Ga., SSPC 2001 (The

Society for Protective Coatings) is the conference and exhibition for the pro- tective coatings industry. While the marine business is not the solitary focus of the event, as SSPC encompasses a wide variety of industries and applica- tions, the industry is well represented and informed at the event.

Primarily, the event attracts Industrial

Painting Contractors; Public and Private

Facility Owners; Metal Fabricators;

Specifying Engineers; Architects; Indus- try Consultants; and Industry Suppliers. "I learn something new at every SSPC conference," Robert R. Hafer, Paint

General Foreman, Newport News Ship- building, is quoted as saying. "The wide mix of companies, contractors, and sup- pliers help you pick up little things that may make your operations more effec- tive. Everyone at the conference is open and ready to help. The contacts you make may not help you today, but I have found that before the year is out you're calling on your new-found SSPC mem- bers."

Attendees are encouraged to select from a wide variety of topics to develop their own combination of technical pre- sentations, workshops, and panel discus- sions from four topic tracks: Surface

Preparation, Coatings and Application,

Project Management, and Business

Strategies. In addition, SSPC committee meetings, various special meetings, and valuable networking opportunities remain an important part of the SSPC 2001 program. SSPC is the only non- profit association focused on the protec- tion and preservation of steel, concrete, and other industrial and marine struc- tures and surfaces. SSPC is the leading source of information on surface prepa- ration, coating selection, coating appli- cation, environmental regulations, and health and safety issues.
