Legendary Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway is slated to present the keynote at the National Wood Flooring Association convention this month. Titled “Professionalism,” the keynote will examine the traits needed to be successful both in sports and in business. The event marks one way in which the 22nd Annual Education Conference & 2007 Wood Floor Expo is shaping up to be “one of the biggest ever,” according to event organizers.

More than 600 exhibitors are planning to showcase their latest products and services at the show. Additionally, a slate of nearly two dozen educational programs has been designed to keep show goers on top of the latest tips and trends.

Also at the convention, the NWFA will hold its yearly Wood Floor of the Year awards, honoring the best, most creative hardwood flooring installations of the last year. Following the awards dinner, entertainer Yakov Smirnoff is slated to take the stage and offer his trademark Russian  stand-up comedy routine.
