Introducing the Tile Nation Sessions!
from Tile Money
What are THE TILE NATION SESSIONS? The Tile Nation Sessions is a community of Tile & Stone industry professionals across the globe. We’re here to support our friends from all over the industry by telling their stories. Stories of how they got here, what they are up to now and where they are going – what are the trends you see and how have you overcome challenges. During these sessions, you’ll get to hear the stories of people who’ve been working in the tile industry trenches, some of them with generations of expertise behind them. In between interviews you’ll be able to network with the community live. Join us live every Friday from 2-5 EST! Let me know if you would like to be interviewed!
