Words: Dan Kamys

Update 2/18/2022 8:03 AM: STABILA has claimed the only remaining spot left open to MCAA Supplier Members, the Golden Breakfast Sponsorship, making our 2022 availability completely booked. We will be announcing a new, high-impact event with new sponsorship opportunities early next week.

Update 2/16/2022 8:01 AM: Pettibone is the first Corporate Partner to reserve a Speed Dating Suite, making all suite spots officially reserved. Our Golden Breakfast Sponsorship is the only opportunity for this event still available. 

Update 2/15/2022 4:15 PM Central: FRACO and Amerimix have reserved Speed Dating spots, and we have updated the list of companies below to reflect. Small changes to the article have been made to address the new list of companies participating. We have also been able to add one additional suite to accommodate demand.

The MCAA Midyear Meeting is set to occur from August 14-18 at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. As we mentioned, the Midyear also marks the return of the fan-favorite event, Speed Dating. We have officially opened Speed Dating Suite + Breakfast Sponsorship opportunities to MCAA Strategic Partners as of this morning (February 14, 2022). Nine of the twelve available spots have already been claimed. As of this writing, the MCAA Strategic and Corporate Partners who will be participating in Speed Dating are: 

  • Amerimix
  • EZG Manufacturing
  • EZ Scaffold
  • FRACO
  • Hydro Mobile
  • Non-Stop Scaffolding
  • Norton Clipper
  • Pettibone
  • PROSOCO
  • SOLA
  • STABILA
  • SPEC MIX
  • Xtreme Manufacturing

As part of the rollout schedule outlined in this article, Strategic Partners receive 48 hours of early access running to 8:00 AM Central on Wednesday morning (February 16th, 2022). At that time, reservations open to MCAA Corporate partners as well. Reservations among those two groups are open on a first-come, first-served basis at that point. Should availability still remain, reservations will open to all remaining MCAA Supplier members on Friday morning (February 18th, 2022) at 8:00 AM Central. 

In all cases, a verbal/email commitment is all that secures the space for the time being. A 50%, non-refundable deposit will be due by June 1, and full payment will be due by August 1.

Some companies who have traditionally gotten the opportunity to Speed Date may not get the chance to do so because of an increase in MCAA Partners in the past year and limited availability. We are actively in development of a new, high-impact sponsorship opportunity for Tuesday evening that will allow companies who are unable to get into Speed Dating to make a splash.

Marvelous Masonry: Tianjin Zhongshuge Library

It is not unusual today for masonry to be treated as a surface decision rather than a structural one. Too often, brick enters a project late in the process, trimmed back by budgets or reduced to a veneer once the “real” building work is finished. The Tian

Many folks over the years have placed concrete pavers around their pool as a nice form of decorative pool deck. Early in the 2000’s, I took a class held by the Interlocking Concrete Paver Institute, then known as the ICPI. At the time I attended the class
