The show is always a great opportunity for furthering education, with more than 50 available accredited courses. The education program sessions are taught by experts and offer AIA Learning Units and Health, Safety and Welfare courses, and Green Business Certification Inc. Continuing Education hours. It’s also a great event for observing cutting-edge masonry-related products and sophisticated wall systems. The show is perfect for anyone who designs, builds, specifies, engineers, renovates or operates in the built environment. The Masonry team converged on the Gateway City to network with some of our industry’s difference makers, and learn about products and services that will affect the way we build, now and in the future.
