Managing multi-stakeholder input from the Smithsonian, federal and DC agencies, design review stakeholders, and public boards and citizen stakeholders in the District

Designing the most sustainable national museum ever built

The unofficial kickoff of the event is the annual convention golf tournament, which takes place Thursday morning at the world-renown Coeur d’Alene Golf Course. The golf course features stunning water views and the challenge of the notorious floating green at the signature hole.

Later in the afternoon, the delegates gather for the opening session featuring a keynote speaker and the announcement of the 2017 Outstanding Project of the Year Awards celebrating the achievements of the wall and ceiling industry.

Education

The opening keynote speaker is Scott Crabtree, Founder and Chief Happiness Officer at Happy Brain Science, who will share powerful strategies learned from game developers to help teams have more fun and deliver better results.

After breakfast in the exhibit hall on Friday, the educational programming resumes as Scott Crabtree delivers an in-depth seminar based on findings from cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology to boost productivity and happiness at work and to empower individuals and organizations.

Next, the seminar track continues with a program titled “Winning the Claim with Documentation that Tells a Story,” presented by James Yand, partner at Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP.

Friday’s educational lineup concludes with a seminar “Water Testing and Other Shenanigans for Stucco Assemblies” by Albert Carrillo, Manager, Western Wall & Ceiling Contractors Association. This program highlights the increasing performance demands of the stucco assembly and recent testing conducted to understand and prevent potential leaks in stucco assemblies.

Special caucus meetings for the various industry segments will be taking place Friday afternoon. The caucus meetings will be followed by the NWCB Annual Membership Meeting from 4-5 p.m.

A busy learning day will be capped off with a fun reception on cruise boats, which will transport the attendees to the Hagadone Event Center at the Coeur d’Alene Golf course for a memorable dinner party featuring casual dining, live musical entertainment and dancing.

The contractor event will be followed by a breakfast in the exhibit hall, giving attendees one last chance to visit with the exhibitors and win valuable prizes.

The educational component of the day starts with a session by Carrie Stuart Parks. In a session titled “Don’t Lie to Me! Learn to Spot the Signs of Deception,” the attendees learn to recognize behaviors that let them know when someone is not being completely honest and how to gain control over a situation.

The final seminar will be presented on Saturday by Darin Coats, Technical Advisor - City of Orange, Technical Services Information Bureau, Orange, Calif.; Ben Duterte, Technical Director, Wall and Ceiling Bureau, Pleasanton, Calif.; and Mike Nonn, Technical Advisor, Wall and Ceiling Bureau, Pleasanton, Calif.

In this thought-provoking seminar, they will present their findings.

The event will close with a keynote by Troy McClain, CEO of McClain Companies, who is a business owner, speaker, consultant, philanthropist—and a onetime contestant on the show Apprentice.

STAFDA’s recent 40th Annual Convention & Trade Show, held in Atlanta last year, attracted a total of 4,366 people with an 820 booth trade show, STAFDA’s largest show since 2008.

Day One featured six educational workshops and one spouse/companion program.

The business sessions covered today’s trending issues from the new overtime regulations to distributor/manufacturing relations, leadership to concierge customer service, and effective negotiating skills. Two workshop presenters, Dr. Jeanne Hurlbert and Barry Wright, extended their stay through Day Three since they were learning as much from STAFDA members as they hoped attendees learned from them!

STAFDA members could show off their passing and kicking prowess on the first floor, try their hand at countless interactive exhibits on the second floor along with viewing college football trophies, memorabilia, or watching a “Game Day” movie in the Hall’s IMAX theater.

Day Two began with the General Session featuring state of the industry speeches from STAFDA President, Terry Earle, Ft. Worth Bolt & Tool of Texas, and Associate speaker, Brandon Moss, Southwire Co., of Carrollton, Ga. Both addressed the labor shortage facing the construction industry and offered innovative insight.

Afterwards, the doors opened to STAFDA’s Trade Show and it was a mad rush for distributors to see the latest and greatest from over 35 different product categories for six hours before enjoying an evening of manufacturer hospitality.

Day Three began with economist, Alan Beaulieu’s annual forecast for 2017 and beyond. His forecasts boast a 96 percent accuracy rate and the standing room only crowd exceeded capacity early on in his program

Afterwards, the trade show opened, where attendees could spend more time at booths or meeting with Tech Fair vendors—STAFDA’s largest fair to date—or visiting one-on one with STAFDA’s endorsed consultants and service providers. Meanwhile, spouses/companions had two day trip options that included a city tour and shopping, or a trip to Madison, Ga., for a tour of antebellum mansions.

The convention concluded with a closing election party where large screens had network coverage of exit polls of the Presidential election.
