2022 Stone Summit Schedule Released
The annual stone industry education program, organized by the Natural Stone Institute and Stone World, will be on the road again in 2022, as well as offering two virtual seminars
The 2022 Stone Summit schedule has been announced. The sessions will provide education for industry members around the U.S., as well as to those who would like to participate virtually.
During in-person events, participants have the opportunity to tour the slab warehouse of the hosting company to view its inventory.
At a recent workshop hosted by Arizona Tile in Austin, TX, Integra Adhesives did a live product demonstration.
Group breakout sessions allow for in-depth discussions on specific topics.
Stone Summit participants are given the chance to mingle and network with representatives from leading manufacturers of fabrication equipment, tooling and accessories, and stone care and installation products.
The Natural Stone Institute and Stone World will once again offer their regional one-of-a-kind stone industry events in 2022. These “Town Hall”-style sessions are specifically customized to meet the needs of attendees and strive to assist those in the stone industry to grow and develop by increasing shop efficiency, providing training resources and metrics for developing business plans, as well as much more.
The 2022 roster includes seven in-person events strategically located throughout the U.S. The live sessions not only provide an opportunity for learning, but also allow participants to problem solve and share ideas among each other, and network with leading suppliers of fabrication machinery, tooling and accessories, and stone care and installation products.
Additionally, there will be two virtual events. The online educational format proved successful during the COVID-19 pandemic, so they are being offered for those who can’t travel to an in-person event or anyone who prefers to attend virtually.
The 2022 Stone Summit lineup is as follows:
- February 16 to 17 -- Virtual
- March 10 -- Albuquerque, NM
- April 20 to 21 --Virtual
- May 4 -- Omaha, NE
