In less than a year it will be that time again, when the 21st round of Stone+tec takes place at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 17 to 20 June 2020. This international trade fair for natural stone and stone technology is where industry experts gather for professional knowledge-sharing. They can also look forward to a diverse supporting program. As well as special shows, panel discussions and high-Caiberpresentations, several awards ceremonies form an integral part of the event. Stone+tec receives active support from major industry associations.

Over his 25-year career in glass and stone processing for architectural applications, Kerry Clark had never been asked to find a tooling solution for creating artifacts for an art exhibition.

The Xiamen Stone Fair is seeking speakers for its World Stone Congress (WSC) educational program at the 2019 edition of the exhibition, which is scheduled from March 6th to 9th. WSC is a series of events and seminars dedicated to discovering trends and innovations in the stone industry.

Last month, I made the long journey to China to attend the Xiamen Stone Fair. While I had been to Shanghai many years ago, this was my first time in Xiamen. I have heard more and more about the stone show, and was interested to experience it first-hand.
