New this year to the World of Masonry is the Masonry Veneer LIVE! area located in the North Hall. Masonry Construction's Masonry Veneer Live will take place Tuesday, January 24, 2012 through Friday, January 27, 2012 at World of Concrete. Masonry Veneer Live draws together key industry stakeholders, installers, masons, manufacturers and designers to help foster the growth of the masonry industry’s fastest-growing product segment. Masonry Veneer Live includes products such as cast stone, brick, adhered masonry, and natural stone. Each of these veneer materials has a specific installation procedure developed to ensure a durable wall surface.

Masonry Veneer Live has three components:

The Veneer Exhibits area is a special exhibition area within World of Masonry. Manufacturers and suppliers will come together to teach the mason contractors and installers about masonry veneers.

The Masonry Veneer Training Zone is a unique education area. Partnering associations will offer special training demonstrations. Attendees will have the opportunity to view and learn about the most current techniques and code requirements for installation.

Artistry in Masonry Veneers is a special display area featuring "live" examples of the cuttingedge artistry that a craftsperson can achieve with masonry veneers.
