continued from page 23
Masonry Expo '90 will provide specifiers with a chance to view the state-of-the-art in masonry.
Masonry Expo '90 will feature exhibits of brick and block making machinery, forklift trucks, scaffolding, trucks and heavy equipment, masonry products, tools, rough-terrain forklifts, mixers, admixtures and chemicals, colors and pigments, reinforcing material, wall ties, grout and mortar pumps, and much more. If a product or service has anything to do with masonry, it will be at Masonry Expo '90. NCMA and MCAA will each hold their separate industry conventions and annual meetings in conjunction with Masonry Expo '90. Additional sponsors of Masonry Expo '90 include:
• Brick Institute of America
• Expanded Shale, Clay & Slate Institute
• National Association of Brick Distributors
• National Lime Association
• Portland Cement Association
• The Masonry Society
Industry-wide educational sessions, seminars, and workshops will be a key feature of Masonry Expo '90. All eight sponsors of Masonry Expo '90 will participate in the planning and execution of these sessions, which will allow the entire masonry industry to come together to address common opportunities and areas of concern.
A materials handling equipment demonstration, featuring the latest in rough-terrain forklifts, and a block laying competition featuring experienced masons will also be highlights of Masonry Expo '90.
No supplier of products, supplies, or services to any part of the masonry industry can afford to miss the chance to exhibit at this dynamic event.
And no one in any way connected with the industry will want to miss the tremendous opportunity for previewing the latest in equipment, supplies, and services; conducting business; and participating in important educational sessions that Masonry Expo '90 offers.
A complete package of information for potential exhibitors at Masonry Expo '90, including an exhibitor's prospectus, floor plan, space application, and show rules, is now under development and will be mailed to potential exhibitors in early summer.
An information package for Masonry Expo '90 attendees featuring complete information on the exposition and educational programs-is also in development for early summer mailing.
