NEW ORLEANS - The Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology, citing the results of a survey of coatings manufacturers and suppliers, announced that the International Coatings Expo (ICE) will be held every other year beginning in 2004.
The survey, conducted earlier this year, indicated that a majority of suppliers felt that an annual exhibition was too frequent - and costly - considering the current state of the industry, the Federation said. The change in show frequency was approved by the FSCT's board of directors just before the start of the 2002 ICE on Oct. 30.
