USCoatings Show and HD Expo both hit record attendance

The paint and coatings industry, as well as the hospitality design sector, are currently experiencing a boom, reflected in the buzz at two recent shows – the American Coatings Show and HD Expo. The holding of these two exhibitions not only demonstrates the vitality of the industry, but also provides a valuable communication platform for global exhibitors.

This exhibition brings together more than 900 brands, including well-known brands such as Kohler, Durkan, Rohl, Tai Ping, and Aceray. In addition, this year’s show also introduced some new highlights, such as the Social Hub located in the center of the exhibition hall, designed by Morgans Hotel Group, and the Creativity Corner, allowing attendees to “stimulate their inner creativity” “.

The American Paint Show moved to Atlanta this year and was a huge success. The show, held at the Georgia World Congress Center from April 7-10, attracted more than 8,700 attendees and 480 exhibitors from 70 countries, breaking previous attendance and exhibition records. The 2024 event will see a 16% increase in attendees and a 20% increase in exhibit space compared to last year’s show in Indianapolis, to 110,000 net square feet.

“Almost 25% of ACS attendees are international, so Atlanta is the best choice in terms of accessibility as a host city.” said Andy Doyle, President of the American Coatings Association, “because our host city’s airport is the busiest in the world. As one of the largest passenger airports in the world, attendees from all over the world can easily reach the exhibition, which makes this ACS the most attended event in history.”
