ISFA’s In-Person Roundtable Events Are Back!

ISFA held its first Industry Roundtable of the year March 21-23 as a two-location event in Texas. The event included educational sessions, networking opportunities, and tours of state-of-the-art fabrication and manufacturing facilities.

Starting in San Antonio, fabricators and industry partners were welcomed with a networking opportunity over dinner, as well as a facility tour of Gecko Solid Surface Solutions.

“The true spirit of being a part of ISFA was evident,” said Augie Chavez, president of Gecko Solid Surface Solutions and ISFA board member. “We saw old friends and made new ones while learning from each other to make our businesses better. We shared ideas and spent quality time with our peers. It was a really great time!”

Roundtable discussions focused on software and technology and finding the best path to success within commercial and residential sectors. Fabricators and industry partners shared software and technology solutions they are currently using, and they discussed the biggest challenges they are facing residentially and commercially.

Attendees of ISFA's first 2022 Industry Roundtable Event got a tour of fabrication shop Gecko Solid Surface Solutions in San Antonio, Texas.

Programming continued in Temple for a three-part facility tour of Wilsonart’s headquarters. A sight to behold, Wilsonart’s state of-the-art facility brilliantly represents Wilsonart’s capabilities and unique products. A special thanks to event sponsors Wilsonart and Moraware.

Additional Industry Roundtable events are scheduled throughout the year. Sponsored by Kohler and Cosentino, the second Roundtable took place May 23-25 in awe-inspiring Kohler, Wisconsin, where attendees toured the Kohler Design Center and Kohler Factory, discussed the metrics they are using to reduce costs and save time while improving performance, and they examined those best practices during educational sessions. Attendees also enjoyed opportunities for networking and leisure time at the world-class golf course, Whistling Straits, or the Kohler Water Spa.

ISFA members are encouraged to take advantage of these robust business development opportunities. Two more Roundtable events are planned for 2022:

• August 23-24 in Seattle

• September 27-29 in Knoxville, Tennessee For more information and to register for ISFA Industry
