Informa Exhibitions held an invitation-only Installation Summit last month at the Omni Dallas Hotel. The two-day event, with exclusive media sponsorship from Floor Covering Installer, brought together close to 80 industry professionals to tackle the ongoing installation crisis and find solutions to fix the problem.
“A lot of people have been working on this issue but they’ve been working independently and not making a dent,” said Scott Humphrey, president and CEO of the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), who moderated the event. “This is the first time we’ve brought everybody [across all market segments] into one room. You may think [the crisis] looks bad now, but it will look even more dismal five years from now.”
