SAO PAULO, Brazil – The 17th edition of the Abrafati Show — combining the International Coatings Congress and the International Exhibition of Coatings Industry Suppliers — is set to take place June 21-23, 2022, at the São Paulo Expo in São Paulo, Brazil. Originally expected to be held in late 2021, the paint and coatings industry’s leading event in Latin America has been postponed so that it can be held with maximum safety.
“While there has been a rather significant improvement in epidemiological conditions in the past few weeks, uncertainties and insecurity still loomed over all audiences,” Abrafati Executive President Luiz Cornacchioni explained. “We were permanently at work assessing scenarios and using all efforts to get alternative dates. A few days ago, a postponement opportunity arose, and we decided to conduct a broad inquiry with exhibitors and potential visitors, which showed us the best way to go would really be to move the show to June.”
