Fuse Alliance announced the recipients of the network's member and supplier awards, which were presented to the winners at the organization's annual conference. Fuse Alliance also announced the winners of its Second Annual Spark Awards, which are presented to network members for outstanding projects. With a record attendance of more than 300 attendees from the U.S. and Canada, the Fuse Alliance annual conference was held in New Orleans, La., and focused on connecting facility managers and other end-use customers with the network's flooring experts.

"We're always inspired by the energy and camaraderie among our members and suppliers at our annual Fuse conferences, and this year was no exception,” said Geoff Gordon, executive director for Fuse Alliance. “Connecting face-to-face with industry peers, recognizing the talent and expertise in our industry, and sharing best practices is truly the value that Fuse provides. In addition to honoring our members and suppliers, we were thrilled to recognize our members for extraordinary project installations through our Second Annual Spark Awards. We had 35 amazing entries across multiple categories."
