ISFA to Hold Regional Summit in Cleveland

INGOMAR, Pa. –The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) will hold a Regional Countertop and Surfaces Summit in the Cleveland area from May 12-14.

Designed for fabricators who are serious about running a strong, safer and more profitable shop, the event will focus on three challenges:

 *Rising compliance pressure around silica, OSHA and tariffs;
 *A workforce that is harder to train and retain; and
 *Material costs and competition squeezing margins.

The first day, May 12, will be held at RockSolid Surfaces and will be a hands-on program for fabricators led by ISFA Chief of Education Aaron Davis. He will cover topics such as edge profiles, sink cutouts, vanity assembly and finishing.

The May 13 and 14 program is designed for shop owners and managers and is hosted by Daltile. Topics will include:

 *A regulatory briefing from ISFA CEO Laurie Weber and silica, tariffs and OSHA;
 *Growth strategies from Roberto Contreras, CEO of MightySlab, on expanding revenue streams;| 
*A dedicated safety and compliance session with Martin Bermudez, ISFA’s safety, health and regulatory director; and
*A closed-door executive session with ISFA board members, industry leaders and top regional fabricators.

Day 1 and Days 2 and 3 are two separate programs and may be registered for separately. For more information go to https://www.isfanow.org/events/fabricator-forum—cleveland-oh.
