Friday night of the show

The Tool Table

Friday night, 5:30 to 7:00 PM, pull up a chair with some of the best in the industry and just talk shop. Tools, projects, products, what's working and what isn't.

Ask the questions you don't usually get to ask. Trade ideas with people who've been at it for decades. Snacks, drinks, and a cash bar so you can settle in and stay awhile.

Real people. Real knowledge. A seat at the table.

  • Snacks included
  • One drink token
  • Cash bar
  • 25 seats
