Louis, MO–The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), headquartered here, recently hosted its 2019 Wood Flooring Expo, which was held at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, TX. The Expo continues to be a leading must-see event for wood flooring professionals. Attendance was strong and the show floor was busy throughout the four-day event this year. Additional networking opportunities, education sessions, keynote speakers, and an industry panel led to increased conversation about the global wood flooring market and the industry as a whole. “Our goal with Expo is to bring all sectors of the wood flooring industry together to collaborate, build relationships, and ultimately make our industry better,” said Michael Martin, NWFA President and CEO. “The community aspect of our Expo was stronger than ever this year. We are very pleased with the outcome of the event.” Please turn to page 53 Jeremy Howard, Nyle Systems LLC, Brewer, ME; and Steve Banks and Richard Peters, Banks Hardwoods Inc., White Pigeon, MI 26 JULY 2019 n NATIONAL HARDWOOD MAGAZINE
