As the only international trade show that is dedicated to commercial concrete and masonry construction industries, World of Concrete is a natural fit for STAFDA manufacturer members who produce tools, blades and other cross-industry equipment.
Due to the close ties with its members, STAFDA has made it a tradition for officers to attend World of Concrete and host a hospitality event for current and prospective members.
STAFDA officers, including President Dale Hahs of AIS Industrial & Construction Supply and Vice President Matt Kitchens of California Service Tool, spent time Tuesday, January 21, walking the outdoor and indoor exhibits to visit active members and see what new products are being offered and reaching out to potential new members. They were joined by STAFDA CEO Georgia Foley and Member Services Director Cathy Usher.
The STAFDA officers and CEO also take the opportunity to meet with Manufacture and Rep Liaison Committees during the show. The committees share updates on their regions and product markets, provide guidance on convention-related activities, and other association issues.
For more than a decade, STAFDA has hosted a hospitality party at World of Concrete. The intent is to bring members together in a more casual environment for a bite to eat and to enjoy some beverages. The event provides an atmosphere for deep networking and relationships to be forged in the distribution industry and beyond. At this year’s event, held at the Hard Rock Café on the Las Vegas Strip, STAFDA saw a record 354 attendees.
Next year’s World of Concrete is scheduled for January 20-22, 2026, with STAFDA’s hospitality party set for Tuesday, January 20, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Hard Rock Café on the Las Vegas Strip. Save the date now!
