The FINISHING Pavilion at FABTECH Features Largest Show Floor Yet

Three months before the show opens, CCAI sold out its FABTECH FINISHING Pavilion with more than 210 exhibiting companies and is now offering space in exhibit Hall C in addition to its 50,000 square foot pavilion in the South Hall. This will be the largest FINISHING Pavilion in CCAI’s six years as a FABTECH partner. There is no doubt that the FINISHING Pavilion at FABTECH is now the premier event for finishing professionals in North America.

This pavilion will be packed with exhibiting companies that will bring countless products, services, innovative ideas and equipment to finishers interested in all finishing technologies. With an anticipated 40,000+ attendees and 1,500 exhibitors overall to fill McCormick Place from November 9-12, 2015, your planning should be well underway to attend FABTECH.

You should make your hotel reservations now before hotels are sold out. Special discounted rates are available through Travel Planners, FABTECH’s official housing provider. Visit www.fabtech.com and click the HOTEL/TRAVEL tab on the top menu bar for more information.

You should also begin planning the rest of your visit to the show. That includes attending some of CCAI’s outstanding FINISHING Conference sessions taught by finishing industry experts. Sessions are coded as beginner, intermediate and advanced. In addition to the valuable classroom education, we are introducing a Finishing Spray Painting Workshop where you’ll receive classroom instruction and be trained using a virtual reality spray painting system. This session has limited registration so please register early if you want to participate. It is being offered twice—once on Tuesday afternoon and once on Thursday morning. Take time to review all of the finishing sessions & presentation descriptions being offered. You’ll find them on the FABTECH website under the EDUCATION tab.

New this year, CCAI is excited to offer 30 percent off any finishing educational session by using code save3cc when you register. This offer is only available for CCAI’s FINISHING Sessions.

“With each passing year, CCAI’s FINISHING Pavilion and conference sessions have continued to attract more and more attendees,” notes CCAI Executive Director, Anne Goyer. “We encourage attendees to plan to stay at least two to three days to take in the exhibition, conference sessions and special events. Pre-planning your schedule will also help immensely in navigating the show. You can use the planning tools available on the show website to help.”

FABTECH provides the perfect platform for visitors to experience live equipment demonstrations, find cost savings solutions, and network with industry peers throughout the 550,000+ net square feet of exhibit space at the McCormick Place. If your company is finishing, forming, fabricating and/or welding, you can’t miss this year’s FABTECH 2015. You’ll find new ways to work smarter, operate leaner and boost productivity.
