Speed Dating will be held Tuesday, September 29, 2015 from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM at the Hyatt Key West Resort and Spa.

Speed Dating is a rapid series of short and concise business-to-business meetings between mason contractors and manufacturers/suppliers to openly discuss business needs as well as the latest product and equipment innovations advancing the masonry industry. As a manufacturer/supplier, you'll meet with three to five mason contractor companies every twenty-five minutes in an intimate setting, where you’ll be able to present your latest products and services. Once that meeting is over, the next appointment will visit your suite.

The cost to participate is $3,000.00 per suite, and includes:
  • Private suite to meet with mason contractors
  • One free registration for the MCAA Midyear Meeting
  • Listing on the MCAA website as a Speed Dating participant
  • Option to place promotional item in MCAA Midyear Meeting Welcome Bag

Participating companies must provide their own A/V and materials for the suite.

Only eight suites are available on a first come, first served basis. Please contact the MCAA at 800-536-2225 if you have any questions or would like to participate in this exciting event.
