In Spring of 2005, Vander Kooi & Associates partnered with HardscapeExpo to sponsor the first-ever, Hardscape Expo. The Expo, held in Chicago, was a success with registration topping 1,500. Along with a wide variety of exhibitors, the Expo's seminars ranged from ways to improve your hardscape installation skills to classes on how to gain control of your business.

Future Hardscape Expo & Conference shows are already in the works with the next scheduled for November 2005 in Las Vegas and February 2006 in Chicago.
