The 2017 stone education series — organized by MIA+BSI: The Natural Stone Institute and Stone World — made a stop in Memphis, TN, for the first time and the results were extremely positive. The all-day event, which was hosted by Pacific Shore Stones, drew 28 fabricators from 18 different companies.
According to Aaron Danke of MIA+BSI, Memphis was an ideal location because of it close proximity to other states, such as Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri. Additionally, Memphis itself has quite a few fabrication facilities and those MIA+BSI spoke with expressed gratitude about a Stone Summit coming to their region.
