Contractor Round Table -- Las Vegas Convention Center N256

Monday, June 7, 2021 10:00 - 11:00 AM

Contractor  Round Table Discussions will engage different positions within a masonry company. The group will address and discuss issues of relevance to the duties they perform. The session will have an appointed leader from within the segment. That person will initiate conversation and coordinate the time for the group. Attendees should be prepared to participate in a conversation about the issues at hand and should be willing to share best practices.
