ETCC 2018 offers an interesting platform for technicians and scientists, active in the world of coatings: raw materials suppliers, coatings companies, universities and research institutes.

ETCC 2018 will take place at the “Beurs van Berlage”. This beautiful building dating from 1903 is a highlight in the works of H.P. Berlage and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. In addition the many historic halls and rooms with their impressive atmosphere will create a stimulating backdrop for the congress. The venue is easy accessible by train, plane or car and during the congress most locations for leisure activities will be ‘within walking distance’.
