Another Successful Management Conference!

Review, Speaker Presentations & Photos

Beautiful Puerto Rico provided the perfect setting for another successful CTDA Management Conference! Members from California to Turkey visited the Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico to attend multiple educational and motivational sessions. This year's conference speakers focused on how to survive through these tough economic times as well as provided attendees with vital information on how the tile industry must get involved in the Greenbuilding movement. Attendees were able to come away with valuable information to take home to their businesses as well as personal life.

• Jim Dion - Creating a Sell Room, Not a Showroom
• Bill Wagner - Workshop: How to Hire the Right People Using Personality Profiling
• Al Bates - Company Performance Report
