I’ve already received several 2024 calendars – I’m guessing you have, too – so I’d like you to take a moment and ‘ink’ in the dates of HMA’s 2024 National Conference and Expo. Our 2 ½ day event will take place March 25-27, at the Charleston Place Hotel, Charleston, South Carolina. And all Hardwood industry stakeholders are welcome to join us. Here are a few of the up-front details.
Our 2024 Conference theme is “Pathways to Success.” And for the past several months I’ve been lining up speakers and presentations regarding issues of importance to the HMA membership, and the Hardwood industry at large – leadership, technology, trends, the economy – and also presenters that offer ‘pathways’ to overcome those issues. It’s going to be an interesting gathering, and your participation will make it even more so. Join us to strategize.
To whet your appetite a little more, here is some information about our historic and inspiring venue:
•Charleston – “Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in a rich coastal culture, hop on a tour, splash in the waves, or find your bliss in a spa oasis, you’ll find what you are looking for in Charleston. Cobblestone streets and historic landmarks; high-end restaurants or festive, dockside oyster roasts; outdoor cafes and the best grits you’ll ever have, Charleston is waiting to welcome You!” (www.charlestoncvb.com)
•The Charleston Place Hotel – located in the heart of Charleston’s historic district, “stirs the senses and lives forever in the minds and souls of all who gather at this independent, iconic landmark.
