ISFA Fabricator Forums
ISFA's primary purpose is to provide education and networking opportunities in support of the surfacing industry. Our Fabricator Forum events, previously known as Industry Roundtables, are powerful opportunities for fabricators to come together to network, discuss the latest industry innovations, learn business development techniques, and tour state-of-the-art design and fabrication facilities.
ISFA understands that networking is a crucial aspect for business owners as it plays a pivotal role in fostering growth, creating opportunities and building a strong support system.

"ISFA Fabricator Forums are incredible opportunity to learn from fabricators around the world. Speaking with companies in our industry from Texas, Oregon, Canada, Mexico and beyond really broadened our perspective and generated a lot of ideas that we could take back with us to improve our business." — Will Schoellkopf, president of Goodall Distributors

Contacts made through networking can introduce business owners to investors, potential employees or service providers, helping in overcoming various operational challenges.
“ISFA’s mission is to further the surfacing industry by providing meaningful resources, training opportunities and events that help fabricators connect and learn from one another,” added Marissa Bankert, executive director of ISFA.

It provides a platform for personal and professional development through the exchange of ideas, experiences and feedback.
Learn to Adapt and Innovate: Connecting with a diverse range of individuals exposes ISFA members to different viewpoints and approaches. This diversity fosters adaptability and encourages innovation, as business owners and operators are exposed to new ideas and perspectives that can be applied to their businesses.
