WEST BLOOMFIELD, MICH.—The Flooring Contractors Association, FCICA, announced Convention 2012 will take place at the Mulberry Inn in Savannah, Ga., March 11 to 14. This marks the 30th anniversary of the association.

FCICA will release their industry dictated educational session topics at a later date. “I have asked the education committee to focus on experiential sessions that are ‘back to the basics’,” said Gerry Swift, chairman of the board of directors for FCICA. “This means you will see more hands-on technical presentations and demonstrations.”

Additional highlights of the 2012 FCICA convention include attendees’ choice of a golf or segway tour, welcoming reception, optimal member networking, table top (vendor & manufacturer) trade shows, committee and board of directors’ meetings, a 30th anniversary gala, an optional pub crawl as well as an optional FCICA Adventure Day in Tybee Island.

“FCICA has become known to offer one of the best convention venues for commercial flooring contractors,” said Kimberly Oderkirk, executive vice president. “This year will be another great one.”
