Thiel, MASONRY EXPO show manager, said "Our initial experience with space sales clearly demonstrates that the masonry equipment/product community embraces MASONRY EXPO as a more efficient, more productive and more cost-effective way to reach their customers."
For the show visitor, MASONRY EXPO is a chance to accomplish in a day or two more comparison shopping and pre-purchase research than he could ordinarily do in weeks or months. It's a chance to see equipment, ask questions, compare competing products, and make sound buying decisions.
It's also a chance to learn the latest in technical and theoretical developments in the industry. Both MCAA and NCMA will offer their own, comprehensive convention programs, and visitors will also have a choice of nine exposition seminars. Topics for these sessions are:
* "Use of Computer Imaging to Assist In Masonry Design," conducted by the National Association of Brick Distributors
* "Economic Advantages of Designing, Fabricating, and Installing Prefabricated Masonry Panels," conducted by John Tawresey, KPFF Company
* "Reduction of Water Permeance of Masonry Walls and the Control of Cracking," conducted by Clayford Grimm, Consulting Engineer
* "Effective Uses of Non-Destructive Testing Techniques on Masonry," conducted by James Noland, Atkinson, Noland & Associates and Bruce Supernant, Consultant Engineer
* "Masonry Fireplace Construction," conducted by Harry Morstead, Morstead Consulting Ltd.
* "Trouble Shooting Masonry Problems and Solutions," conducted by Werner Gumpertz, Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger, Inc.
