INSTALL to host Floor Covering Conference in 2010
12/6/2009
A floor covering leadership conference planned for this coming Spring will place top flooring industry leaders, nationally recognized economic policy experts, training and certification experts, and several educational workshops in front of members of the INSTALL alliance.
The event will be held at the Carpenters International Training Center (CITC) in Las Vegas, NV. The CITC is the 400,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art training headquarters of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC). INSTALL (www.installfloors.org) is the floor covering arm of the UBC.
The conference is set for April 5-8, 2010. Hundreds of INSTALL contractors, as well as representatives from INSTALL’s 85 partnering mill and manufacturers will join the UBC’s INSTALL business representatives and local leaders at the event. Six educational workshops will be offered on topics addressing technical, business, and marketing strategies. Guest speakers will address issues crucial to members of the flooring industry. UBC staff responsible for training and INSTALL certification will explain and demonstrate the curriculum and INSTALL certification process.
“This leadership conference is among the most important benefits contractors and mills or manufacturers realize as INSTALL partners. We will give our members hands-on information that can help them keep business flowing in this tough economy,” said INSTALL Director John McGrath.
Attendance at the Leadership Conference is limited to members of the INSTALL alliance, including INSTALL mill and manufacturer partners and their staff, UBC signatory contractors who employ INSTALL-trained mechanics, and UBC staff and leadership.
