Fuse Alliance’s Power Through Partnership Annual Conference Draws Record-breaking Attendance
Fuse Alliance, a member-owned organization of professional, commercial flooring contractors, reported record-breaking attendance at Power Through Partnership, the organization’s annual conference held recently in Dallas. Fuse also announced the recipients of the network’s member and supplier awards.
“As our first face-to-face gathering since March 2020, Power Through Partnership?, was not only celebration of how we protected and sustained our network, but also where we harnessed this momentum to emerge stronger and better than ever before,” said Geoff Gordon, executive director of Fuse Alliance.
Gordon said that the success of last year’s virtual conference revealed how important it is to engage with member’s employees who can’t travel to an in-person meeting. As such, the organization plans to offer the best of the Fuse Annual Conference -- FUSE Encore -- on April 5th in a 100 percent virtual format.
