The 2010 MCAA Convention is taking place now!
We’re in Las Vegas! The sun is shining and the weather is perfect! The 2010 MCAA Convention at the World of Concrete/World of Masonry is about to kick off and we can’t wait to see you!

A few education sessions have already started today and there are several great events you won’t want to miss taking place later in the week such as tomorrow’s MAC PAC Reception and Opening Session Dinner with special guest Danny Tarkanian, who is among three candidates vying for the opportunity to run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

There will also be hundreds of thousands of square feet of exhibits and dozens of education courses offered that will allow you to earn Masonry Certification credit. Plus thousands of dollars in cash and prizes will be given away throughout the week to the best masons in the industry competing in the International Masonry Skills Challenge, the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500®, and the Fastest Trowel on the Block Competition.

And you won't want to miss out on our Closing Reception when we thank Tom Daniel for all his work as MCAA President. During the dinner portion of the program a short tribute to the MCAA President will be presented. Following dinner, attendees will be treated to LOVE, the magical Cirque du Soleil show that brings together the spirit and passion of The Beatles to create an intimate and powerful entertainment experience.

We’ll see you soon in Las Vegas!
