2024 Stone Industry Education Schedule Slated

OBERLIN, Ohio — The 2024 Stone Industry Education series will feature nine Stone Summits at locations across the United States.

All sessions, led by industry leaders, cover a wide range of topics important to fabricators, including stone-shop management, business diversification, and ways to increase efficiency. Mornings include presentations on a specific topic, while afternoons feature breakout sessions focusing on business management, technical information, and marketing strategies.

The one-day sessions, scheduled for 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m., also include the opportunity to source products from event sponsors and hosts, and plenty of dedicated time to meet and mix with other fabricators.
