Over the past few weeks, leaders at SSPC and NACE have deliberated over the most appropriate path forward for SSPC's Coatings+ 2021 conference scheduled to be held in Phoenix, AZ this coming February. It became apparent that attempting to hold the event at the same standard we have in the past in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is just not feasible, nor would it be safe for our members, attendees, or staff. Because of this we have decided to postpone the conference until December 13-16, 2021.

Exhibitors, sponsors and speakers will receive separate communication from SSPC regarding how this date change might affect them. With the ongoing combination of SSPC and NACE, we expect Coatings+ 2021 to remain a prime opportunity to showcase the new organization and share our vision with members. 

This postponement of Coatings+ does in no way mean a postponement or cancellation of NACE’s annual CORROSION conference. CORROSION 2021 is still scheduled for April 18-22, 2021 in Salt Lake City, UT.

We hope you all will be able to join us next December when we can once again meet face to face in a safe, and productive manner.
