With more than 250 member companies of the Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) exhibiting at the World of Concrete each year, STAFDA officers have made it a tradition to attend the Las Vegas show and host a hospitality party for current and prospective members.
World of Concrete (WOC) is the only annual international trade show dedicated to the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries. STAFDA manufacturer members, with their tools, blades, and other cross-industry equipment, are natural partners with WOC. STAFDA officers, including President Dale Hahs (AIS Industrial & Construction Supply) and Vice President Matt Kitchens (California Service Tool), spent time Tuesday, Jan. 21, walking the outdoor and indoor exhibits to visit active members, seeing what new products are being offered, demoing tools, as well as reaching out to potential new members. They were joined by STAFDA CEO Georgia Foley and Member Services Director Cathy Usher.
For more than 10 years, STAFDA has also been hosting a hospitality party during World of Concrete. By bringing together members in a casual environment for a bite to eat and to enjoy some beverages, deep networks and relationships can be forged in our industry and beyond. This year a record 354 attendees came to hang with their STAFDA colleagues at the Hard Rock Café on the Strip.
STAFDA also takes the opportunity to meet with its Manufacturer and Rep Liaison Committees during the Vegas trade show. Acting as the voice of two critical membership groups, the Committees share updates on their regions and product markets, provide guidance on Convention-related activities, and discuss other important Association issues.
Next year’s World of Concrete exhibits will be January 20-22, 2026. STAFDA’s hospitality party will be Tuesday, Jan. 20, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Hard Rock Café on the Vegas Strip – Save the date!
