Future Of Coatings Under Study

This Year’s Theme

Innovation. Fire makes meat taste better. Wheels make carrying loads easier. It isn’t new, but innovation is vital. And in the last few years, it’s been quiet. We’re focusing this year on ROI:

Return On Innovation

What does your organization (and it’s people) get for the resources—time and money—it commits to innovation? Is this more than just a trendy topic? Show me the meat!

Return Of Innovation

Is it really back? Have we actually gotten back to digging deep, researching for real breakthroughs and developing breakthrough ideas, rather than doing things to keep the boat from sinking? You’ll hear from leaders who have good answers to these big questions.

And we want to hear from you. What’s ROI in your organization? In your life? Join us for FOCUS 2014.
