Gulf Coatings Show Conference Programme
Gulf Coatings Show Conference
The latest trends from the hands of international experts
During the Gulf Coatings Show 2025, one of the most remarkable events will take place: the GCS Conference. The sessions will begin on October 20 and continue until October 21, covering a wide range of topics such as carbon footprint reduction, waterborne solvents, anticorrosion, new ways to optimize formulations, and much more. Topics that once seemed distant are now here and trending at this GCS 2025. How can we implement artificial intelligence in laboratories? How profitable is carbon footprint reduction? Are there enough sustainable alternatives to meet all the demand? These questions and many more will be addressed for two days filled with cutting-edge information, scientific presentations, and opportunities to connect with international industry experts.

Short Courses
Experts meet the base
One of the opportunities you can find at the GCS are the Short Courses. These courses provide a platform for basic training on the most relevant topics in the coatings industry. The sessions will last 90 minutes and will be conducted by industry experts and research institutes. Attendance to these courses is completely free and is aimed at those who are new to the industry or those who wish to gain a different perspective on fundamental concepts.​
Although attendance is free, all participants are required to register. Seats are limited, so don’t miss the chance to reserve yours!
MEDMA Conference
The 18th Annual MEDMA Conference at the Gulf Coatings Show - Drymix Mortars in the Middle East
The extreme dynamic of construction in the United Arab Emirates requires visionary building methods. The old „bag by bag“ approach is obsolete and professional workforce is scarce. The UAE are already a lighthouse to the entire region when it comes to automated handling of drymix mortars as renders, plasters and flooring screeds on the jobsites. Getting drymix mortars in silos right on the jobsites and handle it with sophisticated pumps and mixers speeds up the workflow tremendously.
Our MEDMA workshop is all about specifying, sourcing and handling large quantities of topquality drymix mortars. Members and partners of MEDMA are working with Authorities in the UAE to provide efficient, long-lasting, sustainable quality - for the sake of the UAE Government and its people.
