While granite remains a popular choice for many homeowners, fabricators and stone distributors catering to the high-end residential market are finding their customers to be more design savvy and come into their showrooms with a desire for a material that is unique and not a mainstream stone variety.
For the first time in years, a Stone Summit, which is part of the Stone Industry Education Seminar program run by the MIA+BSI and Stone World magazine, was held in Birmingham, AL.
Fabricators and other members of the stone industry living in the Seattle, WA, area, came together on Thursday, May 19, 2016 for the Washington Stone Summit
Moderated by Eric Tryon of Premier Surfaces in Atlanta, GA, the “Town Hall” environment allowed attendees to participate in an open-forum session to address pertinent issues affecting their businesses today.
The 2016 Stone Industry Education seminars, presented by MIA+BSI and Stone World magazine kicked off in Charlotte, NC, on February 18, hosted by M S International, Inc. and featured marketing speaker Marty Gould.
