Hardscape North America

Words: Derek SpurlockThe first national hardscape tradeshow, Hardscape North America, produced by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, and endorsed by the Brick Industry Association and the National Concrete Masonry Association, will be held March 7-10 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn. The tradeshow will offer products, technology and knowledge for the hardscaping professional through educational seminars, exhibits and certification courses.

The program will include top-notch seminars on people and business management, site efficiency and sales and marketing, as well as paver installer and segmented retaining wall certification courses.

The exhibit floor will feature more than 150 booths, displaying state-of-the-art products and equipment. In addition to 45,000 square feet of indoor floor space, there will be an outdoor exhibit area where contractors will be able to "touch and feel" tools, and exhibitors can showcase their equipment in typical site conditions.

Hardscape North America will also provide excellent opportunities for contractors to network with key manufacturers and suppliers of hardscaping products, construction equipment, vehicles and services.

For additional information, please contact Hardscape North America at (888) 580-9960 ext. 06, or online at www.hardscapenorthamerica.com.
