The excitement reverberated throughout the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas as thousands of fabricators, builders, and designers filled the building for the 2018 International Surface Event.

The overall registration for TISE was up 20% from the previous year and in booth #3837 the activity was strong.

Park Industries’ open booth welcomed many visitors to move around comfortably and invited them to stay to discuss the machine features.

Park’s machine lineup included the newly introduced SABERjet and ATLAS Tool Measurement System paired with the legends in stone, TITAN® and HYDRASPLIT®.

Off the main floor of the show, there were over 70 educational sessions, and one speaker among them was Joan Schatz, Park Co-President.

Joan inspired attendees at the trade show with her Whitewater Presentation about turning obstacles into growth opportunities.

In addition to the networking and education of the trade show, Park Industries® enhanced the experience with an open house.

After the show on Wednesday, Park industries held an open house at Desert Eagle Stone. With a crowd of over 60 fabricators in attendance, it was a smashing success with attendees viewing live production of Desert Eagle's variety of Park Machines.
