Surfex 2028 in Coventry: Surface, Paint & Coatings Week

Surfex 2028 returns to the Coventry Building Society Arena on 6-7 June as the UK's only major dedicated exhibition and conference for surface, paint and coatings technology. Held every two years and co-organised with the Oil & Colour Chemists' Association (OCCA), the show brings the whole coatings supply chain under one roof, from raw materials and functional additives to testing, mixing equipment, regulatory compliance and waste disposal. Across two days, attendees can explore more than 150 exhibitors presenting resins, pigments, specialty chemicals, instrumentation and green chemistry solutions. A multi-track seminar programme delivers technical, scientific and industry-focused sessions on regulation, sustainability, digitalisation, new materials science and smarter testing. Entry is free to attend and the programme is designed for formulators, chemists, specifiers, buyers and technical managers. Free parking, early check-in perks and a complimentary copy of the British Coatings Federation market report are available to pre-registered visitors, and the Arena's on-site train station and motorway access make travel straightforward.
