MCAA Midyear Meeting Registration Open
Registration is now open for the MCAA’s Midyear Meeting, September 24-26, 2018, at the Archer Hotel in Austin, Texas.
If you have never attended the MCAA’s Midyear Meeting before, now is the perfect time. The MCAA Midyear Meeting is a relaxed and intimate atmosphere where networking takes place. Strike up a conversation with another mason contractor or a supplier who is not in your market, and you can share ideas and solutions to common problems faced on the jobsite. This is where long-lasting friendships are born every year.
