The 2020 Industry Showcase took place on May 11th at the Four Points by Sheraton was a great success!

The event was filled with several displays of various types of products. Some products were even "showcased" here in California for the very first time.
                                                                                    
The exhibits covered everything from appliances to plumbing fixtures, hardware, lighting, flooring, wall coverings, etched glass and even a home elevator, allowing the interior designer a "hands-on" exposure with access to so many new and wonderful local products for use with their residential and commercial projects.

Following the exhibitions, the feature dinner presentation was held at the Four Points Sheraton ball room. A drawing was held for two awards, one was for the three best exhibitors and the other award was for two winners who registered early.

The winners and prizes for the early registrars are:
First Prize- Lorna Steel, a hotel stay for 3 days, 2 nights, AND 2 Benihana dinners at the Las Vegas Hilton
Second Prize – Teri Smith, a hotel stay 3 days, 2 nights at the Palm Springs Hilton See? It pays to register early!

For the three best exhibitors
First Prize – Art for Everyday
Second Prize – Bisazza
Third Prize – Dal Tile
Congratulations to the three Best Exhibitors!

The winning prizes for the Best Exhibitors, they won advertisement on both the NKBA San Diego and CLCID websites for six months. Thank you, Best Exhibitors for your great displays!

The Silent Auction started at the opening of the Pavilion Showcase and ended at 6:30 PM, followed by a fund raiser benefiting the San Diego Center for the Blind. Mr. Fu-Tung Cheng, the night's featured presenter and speaker, offered to help raise even more money for the San Diego Center for the Blind prior to his presentation. Thanks to your many wonderful donations and contributions, between the silent auction and the fund raiser, we were able to collect over $3,200.00 dollars for the San Diego Center for the Blind. THANK YOU!

Mr. Fu-Tung Cheng's presentation was not only inspirational but also educational. Mr. Cheng reminded us with his work of the many ways to incorporate creativity into design but with a sense of uniqueness. Many of Mr. Cheng's projects illustrated the challenges and rewards of understanding good design. His talented ability to work from interior to exterior designs offer no boundaries, and encourages all of us to seek new fresh ideas, a signature mark in his work as a true master. Thank you, Mr. Cheng for not only showing good will in assisting us with fund raising, but also sharing your knowledge and your accomplishments with us all!

We want to thank each and every exhibitor for not only for your support but for a great showing of your products.

We would like to thank all of the attendees for supporting your industry and for taking the time to have the desire to expand your knowledge and learn.

We look forward to seeing all of you again, at the next Showcase event,
the 2011 Industry Showcase –TBA.
