Convention Space on Record Pace

Words: Joni CokerAnother convention seems right around the corner and this one is looking to be a big hit with exhibitors and attendees as well. As you may know, this year's Masonry Showcase will be at Construct America?. Masonry Showcase will be co-located with the Construction Specifications Institute and the Total Facility Managers shows at Chicago's McCormick Place, April 20-22, 2005. Chicago's central location and event offerings will be a large draw for exhibitors as well as MCAA members. Keep an eye out for registration materials in the following months!

This new concept for our show isn't the only thing new at MCAA. Colin Faul has been promoted to Director of Marketing. I am assuming the responsibilities of Colin's position as Manager of Professional Development. I am looking forward to working with our members and our exhibitors! If I can be of assistance, please call me at 800-536-2225.
