NWFA's 16th Annual Convention: It was Hot, Hot, Hot

This year's convention, which NWFA organizers dubbed the "Education Vacation," was conducted April 25-28 at the Palm Springs Convention Center. All told, 2,485 wood floor professionals journeyed to the event to participate in a wide range of seminars, peruse the product offerings showcased in 409 exhibit booths and partake in some of the various resort amenities available throughout the local area.

In addition to the trade show, convention highlights included an overview of the NWFA's Advanced School -- which outlined specialized techniques such as working with flooring medallions, insets and mixed-media installations -- and the annual Floor of the Year Awards Banquet.
