After a successful spring Fabricator Forum in Charlotte, North Carolina, The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) looks forward to hosting additional events in the coming months:
- August 14 in Houston
- September 11-12 in St. Louis.
The August Fabricator Forum in Houston, sponsored by Cosentino, is a unique one-day event hosted at Cosentino Center that includes technical and educational sessions, a facility tour and networking opportunities. Attendees will learn repair techniques for sintered materials, see vertical cladding demonstrations, and hear about the latest innovations of Cosentino’s popular materials, Dekton and Silestone.
The September Fabricator Forum in St. Louis, sponsored by BB Industries and Vicostone, is a two-day event that includes presentations and discussions about:
- Silica safety.
- Staffing and employee management strategies.
- Fleet management.
- Marketing strategies.
- Quartz cleaning and care techniques.
On the second day in St. Louis, ISFA will take the show on the road for a fabricator shop tour of Custom Marble in nearby Millstadt, Illinois. Since 1978, Custom Marble has been working with the most trusted kitchen and bath dealers throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area, offering a wide range of services and materials to meet the growing needs of their customers. Attendees will tour the shop to see what makes Custom Marble so successful. The tour will also include an OSHA presentation, “Know Your OSHA Rights,” designed to inform fabricators about common compliance issues and understand how they can mitigate risk in their shops.
“ISFA is looking forward to bringing these popular events to fabricators in the Houston and St. Louis areas,” said Marissa Bankert, executive director of ISFA. “Fabricator Forums are designed to be well-rounded opportunities that provide attendees with the resources they need to overcome challenges and grow their businesses, and the programming reflects the needs of today’s fabricators.”
ISFA Fabricator Forums are open to all fabricators, including nonmembers. Visit www.ISFAnow.org/fabricator-forums for more details and to register. Space is limited, so those interested in attending are encouraged to reserve their spot as soon as possible.
