The 2011 Decorative Surfaces Conference recently held at the Turnberry Isle Resort in Aventura Florida received very encouraging reviews. Twenty industry titans delivered presentations during the two day conference on an exciting array of topics. The Decorative Surfaces Conference curriculum, like that of the mission of Surface & Panel magazine is ... uniting materials, technology and design. Innovative and enhanced surface materials, new technologies and the latest in design trends from around the world were common threads in each presentation and highlighted the international nature of the conference. On behalf of Kurt Fischer and everyone at TCM Americas, I want to thank our fantastic speakers, devoted sponsors and each and every delegate who attended the DSC.

All the best,
