Natural Stone Institute Forms Xiamen Delegation

OBERLIN, Ohio — The Natural Stone Institute, in coordination with the China Xiamen International Stone Fair, is inviting association members to join a volunteer delegation to the 2020 fair. The China Xiamen International Stone Fair connects thousands of buyers, suppliers, and manufacturers from around the globe.

Scheduled for March 16-19, 2020, this year’s trip will include:

• Three nights paid lodging
• Show floor walking tour to meet featured exhibitors
• One-day factory study tour
• Onsite ground transportation to planned activities
• Networking VIP receptions
• Educational events and seminars dedicated to discovering trends and innovations

“This event is a must for any members who are currently or are considering importing from China,” said Brian DeCelle of Sislers Stone in Falls Church, Va., and a member of the 2019 delegation. “Between the sheer number of exporters and the knowledge and experience of the delegation, members would be hard-pressed to duplicate this anywhere else.”

For more information about serving on the delegation, please contact Pam Hammond at pam@naturalstoneinstitute.org or 440-250-9222. Space is limited. The deadline to join the delegation is Dec. 6.
