First Annual Conference a Success! |

Despite the bad weather many
contractors showed up for our first conference and
they all agreed on one thing: It was well worth
their time.
We had many speakers and presentations designed to
address real issues in the decorative concrete world and
it was a great networking opportunity for
contractors looking to enhance their business and
learn a trick or two.
