“I feel that the SEFM is necessary for dealers to see new products in person.  See, touch and feel! Digital imaging is great for some purposes and has come a long way over the years, however, no camera or computer can capture the beauty of texture and color like the human eye. Omitting market shows [like this] and in person meetings will only increase the decay of our industry!”

“We genuinely appreciate the outwardly-faced customer service that Sammie, Kathy & [their] team provide. There is a distinct difference working with people who either a) simply want to extract as much money from as many people as possible and all you represent is a dollar figure to them, and b) people who seem to really want to make it a beneficial experience for exhibitors as well as attendees. We are grateful for the ways you [MME] support us, and value that it feels more like a partnership than simply a financial transaction.”

“My number one reason that I like the SEFM is because it’s local and very well attended by buyers. After attending SEFM [last year], and then Surfaces, I felt that there is no reason to travel to the national show because I’m able to see everything I need to see at the SEFM. It’s organized and everything is presented well.”
