ST. LOUIS, Missouri (June 16, 2011)
– The National Wood Flooring Association is pleased to announce that it will
host its 2012 Convention in Orlando, Florida, April 10 - 13. The event will be
held at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, the site of the
NWFA’s 2002 show. While the 2012 show will feature traditional offerings like
training and networking, the NWFA Convention Committee is in the process of
relaunching the Expo portion, which will include incentives for attending and
participating.
“We are committed to hosting a show that offers real and tangible value to our
members and industry,” states NWFA CEO, Michael Martin. “Our board of directors
surveyed our exhibitors and past attendees after this year’s event, and we
learned that late Spring is the perfect time to hold this meeting. Our
exhibitors tend to roll out new products in the first quarter of the year and
want to showcase them at this event. Likewise our dealer/contractor attendees
told us that they are busiest in the summer with installations and wanted the
show in the Spring. It’s also a huge plus to have everyone under one roof for
all events at the Gaylord facility, which increases our networking
opportunities.”
The 2012 show will feature an opening party on Tuesday night, trade show hours
on Wednesday and Thursday, and new educational and networking opportunities
throughout. Plans are underway that will relaunch the NWFA convention with
top-rated keynote speakers, industry experts, and entertainment elements.
