CONFERENCE ON "COLOR PIGMENTS FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM" TO BE SPONSORED
JOINTLY BY COLOR PIGMENTS MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION AND INTER-SOCIETY COLOR
COUNCIL
The Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) and the Color Pigments Manufacturers
Association, Inc. (CPMA) are combining efforts to sponsor the first
all-encompassing color pigments conference of the twenty-first century.
This will be held April 17-19, 2000 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the
newly renovated Hilton Hotel at University Place. The conference
immediately follows the 69th Annual Meeting of the ISCC and the Members'
Meeting of the CPMA, both at the same location.
The CPMA and the ISCC first co-hosted a conference in Newport, Rhode Island
in April 1993 with over 250 participants. Since then, both organizations
have held independent conferences. Now, both are, again, combining efforts
to present "Color Pigments For the New Millennium."
With both groups' experience in educational programs concerning colorants,
and with CPMA being the largest color pigments association in the world, and
the organization that represents the North American color pigments industry,
this conference in uniquely able to include topics and speakers not
available from any other source. Past participants have benefited from the
depth of the education sessions, and the varied industry networking
opportunities available.
Registration begins late afternoon on Monday, April 17, 2000, followed by a
reception that evening. Educational sessions will be held all day on both
Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18 - 19. Tuesday features an all-conference
luncheon and a second reception that evening. Continental breakfasts will
be served both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. The conference adjourns at
approximately 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19.
Topics for this year's conference include the latest developments in color
pigments, color measurement, environmental concerns, legislative and
regulatory action of interest to manufacturers of color pigments, their
suppliers and users, value and performance in color formulations, use of
computers in color testing, and other related subjects.
Pre-conference activities include a golf tournament being planned for the
afternoon of Monday, April 17, and the availability of Charlotte's many
attractions including Lowe's Motor Speedway, the NASCAR Museum, Concord
Mills (discount shopping mall), and others.
