Last week, I took part in a meeting of the Education Advisory Council of Surfaces | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas, the annual trade event that showcases virtually all aspects of the floor covering industry -- including stone and tile. This council is a virtual "who's who" of technical professionals from our industry, and the two-day meeting is an intensive session where all of the challenges in our industry are discussed at length.
As a journalist covering the stone and tile industry, I have an opportunity to bring up some of the challenges that I am seeing among our readership, and I also get the chance to hear the thoughts and opinions of this panel of technical experts.
