If you are like most concrete contractors, you have not been to a World of Concrete convention in two years.

For many of us, attending World of Concrete is a yearly pilgrimage. Like most events, however, it did not take place at the beginning of this year due to the coronavirus. A World of Concrete convention did take place this summer, and I did attend, but it was a fraction of its usual size and lacked the energy normally felt during the show.

In January 2022, the normal World of Concrete convention that we have come to know and love will resume. The exhibitors are back. The attendees are back. Vegas is back. And the CFA is back to World of Concrete in a big way!

Our winter meeting will be held on Wednesday evening on the 108th floor of the Stratosphere Tower at The STRAT Hotel Resort and Casino. This promises to be one of the best locations the CFA has ever held a winter meeting. 

Join us for dinner, drinks, and conversation with fellow foundation contractors and our terrific suppliers and associates. We will hang out on the observation deck for incredible views of Las Vegas. Your event ticket even includes thrill rides, such as the roller coaster atop the Stratosphere!

Our booth at the World of Concrete will be in the newly constructed West Hall. We will be just inside the entrance doors on the show floor, booth W2719. It is the perfect location for you to stop in, see old friends, meet new ones, and strategize how best to see all that the convention has to offer.

For many of us, the exhibitors are familiar from one year to the next. Nevertheless, many contractors choose to scour the show to find that new or different item that can give them a slight edge in their business.

All you need is one idea, one thing you can take home and implement in your company. It could be new equipment, a tool, software—or it could be an idea you heard while talking with a fellow contractor. It does not take much to discover something that will improve your business for years to come. Even the simplest idea can change your business.  Remember, little hinges swing big doors.

I look forward to seeing YOU in Las Vegas.

To Your Success,

Doug Herbert, CFA President
