The World of Building, Energy and Transportation 2010 event

The World of Building, Energy and Transportation 2010 event in Atlanta, GA.

At Laticrete we partnered with the NTCA, Dal Tile, CC Owens Tile and Tiede-Zoeller for this event.

This was a two day event that was attended by over 5000 Technical High School and Technical Colleges students. We spoke to them about the Tile Industry and demonstrated for them estimating, tools of the trade and basic tile & stone installation techniques. many of them took home a one square foot piece of backer board that they installed tile on.

"This is a great opportunity to give back to our industry. Being able to show kids there are different avenues of employment" - Rod Owen, CC Owens Tile.

The attendance numbers are in and they are nothing short of amazing:

4,641 students
815 teachers, administrators and parents
1,043 exhibitors, volunteers and industry guests
6,499 total attendees (a 6% increase over last year)

It was not our stated goal this year to create the biggest and the best event of this type ever held in Georgia, but we did it!
