IWF 2016 in Pictures
The IWF is not a big show for the flooring world. In fact, it was my first time there. I enjoyed my walk through the machinery hall, seeing not just the familiar woodworking machines, but all the new technology, including a number of robots that definitely seemed to have personalities of their own. (I think most of them enjoyed their work, but one or two looked like they might join the Terminators when the machines rise up against us!)

Associations at the 2016 NWFA Expo
I think everyone knows how much I appreciate the work associations do. Associations help us speak as a collective voice about our industry, be it to consumers, to regulators, or to the world at large. Associations help establish shared standards, train us in our responsibilities, and of course provide us with networking opportunities. I hope everyone appreciates their associations and participates as much as possible. I am always thankful that Metropolitan sponsors so much of my time for association work (including doing this blog) and gives me the opportunity to connect with associations, as illustrated below in the last set of pictures from the NWFA Expo in Charlotte:
