MIA Launches "Wine & Stone" Networking Events through its Women in Stone Initiative
OBERLIN, OH -- The Marble Institute of America's (MIA) "Women in Stone" initiative is launching an innovative and fun way to bring industry and design professionals together. The Wine & Stone presentation is a wine tasting event centered on educating participants about the similarities in selecting both wine and stone and the uniqueness of both products. Both are products of Mother Nature that have distinctive characteristics -- the same variety of grapes produced in two different regions will yield completely different taste. The same with selecting stone from around the world and the difference in characteristics.
This program was initially introduced as a test in two markets (Las Vegas and Dallas), and hosted by Las Vegas Rock and M S International. At Coverings, the MIA unveiled a resource kit and video to showcase how these networking events can be used in individual showrooms. The first company to schedule a "Wine & Stone" event is Cosentino Center at their Canton, MA, location.
