Coatings Technologies for the 21st Century
Port Canaveral and the Florida Space Coast are known for sun, fun and the beaches. It is also home to NASA and one of the most corrosive areas in the world. It is the perfect setting for a NACE Meeting.
With that being said, the NACE Central Florida Section welcomes you to the 2008 Eastern Area Conference to be held in Port Canaveral, Florida on October 20-23, 2008. The conference symposiums will provide the most current and innovative technology reports for the corrosion professional. The symposiums will have a connection to coatings with topics such as atmospheric coatings, water and wastewater coatings, military coatings, pipeline coatings and new coatings still in the research mode. There will be an exhibitor area to visit to see some of these new technologies. A visit to the NASA Beachside Atmospheric Exposure Test Facility is being planned. There will also be many other activities to keep you busy when you are not in seminars or visiting with the exhibitors. The program is being refined and finalized at this time.
So once again, Welcome and come and join us for the 2008 Eastern Area Conference in Port Canaveral, Florida. We look forward to seeing you.
