There is no better place to network with mason contractors across the country than at the MCAA Convention at the World of Concrete/World of Masonry in Las Vegas. Register now for the MCAA Convention at the World of Concrete/World of Masonry and spend the week making connections and contacts that will last a lifetime.

During the week of February 2-6, 2009, there will be numerous opportunities to engage your fellow mason contractors, such as the Mason Contractor Appreciation Party. Hundreds of mason contractors will be in attendance at the Mason Contractor Appreciate Party on Wednesday, February 4, to discuss challenges facing your company and discover how others have overcome those same challenges. There will also be free food and drinks along with raffles throughout the night.

The Opening Session Lunch on Tuesday, February 3, featuring special guest and keynote speaker, Alan Thicke, and the Closing Reception on Thursday, February 5, are also great opportunities to meet mason contractors across the country. Additionally, the MAC PAC Reception on Tuesday, February 3, will allow contractors to gather and discuss the latest political issues affecting the masonry industry.

And don’t forget the numerous educational offerings throughout the week including the Masonry Foreman Development Course, the Masonry Quality Institute, the Understanding Masonry Codes & Standards seminar, the Basic Masonry Estimating course, and over 70 additional courses and seminars that will be offered and allow interaction between students and instructors. Plus, contractors will be able to meet and mingle with numerous exhibitors covering over 900,000 net square feet!
