StonExpo to branch out to East Coast in 2007; MIA to convene board of directors at show
Organizers of StonExpo, a major industry stone show held annually in Las Vegas, are planning to expand the reach of the event to the East Coast with the launch of StonExpo East. Slated for March 23-25, 2007 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, StonExpo East aims to provide a forum for both stone manufacturers and stone professionals who are based in the area and might be otherwise unable to attend.
"The Marble Institute is excited about the introduction of StonExpo East, and we will strongly support it," said Gary Distelhorst, executive vp of the Marble Institute of America, an official sponsor of StonExpo. "We believe this is another solid, progressive move to strengthen, solidify and improve the natural stone industry."
