SFA Announces Prelim ’13 Workshop Schedule
The Stone Fabricators Alliance will hold at least three shop-based workshops in 2013, plus appearances at the two big industry trade shows.
The standalone workshops begin on March 14-15 at VT Stone Surfaces in Rome, Ga. Topics include efficiency in manufacturing and management, along with an offsite tour of LG Industries’ nearby quartz-surfaces plant.
On June 13-14, the SFA road show moves to Tile, Marble and Stone LLC in Shawnee, Okla., where Todd and Christie Luster will host a session that includes a focus on the Northwood Fabcenter and insights on complicated installations.
And, it’s a return to California and Millestone Marble and Tile Inc. on Aug. 15-16, as hosts Cameron and Mark DeMille share their new and improved facility in Thousand Palms, Calif. to offer a close look at hand fabrication.
The SFA will also play a big role at trade shows in 2013, hosting The CAGE — its signature, hands-on fabrication zone — at both StonExpo Marmomacc Americas in Las Vegas on Jan. 29-31, and Coverings on April 29-May 2 in Atlanta.
The StoneExpo experience will be enhanced with the new StoneLIVE! Stadium, with bleachers, a fully stocked bar and flat-panel television screens offering a live stream of what’s going on in the The CAGE, including a host of scheduled presentations.
