November 16, 2023

The 48th FOCUS conference will be held April 18, 2024. The conference is being held a few weeks earlier than normal to prevent conflicts with other industry events and to allow more university students to participate in the poster session. The conference will take place at a new location, Laurel Manor in Livonia, Michigan. 

This conference is a staple for paint and coatings professionals in Southeast Michigan and beyond.  It is a great opportunity for global experts and leaders in the automotive paint and coatings industry to discuss the latest challenges and developments.

Abstracts are currently being accepted for consideration. Interested speakers can submit an abstract (<500 words) of their suggested contribution to call4abstracts@dsctfocus.org. Please include the title of the talk and the speaker name and email address. The submission deadline is January 15, 2024. Notification of acceptance is expected on February 2, 2024.
