On April 20 in Madison and on April 21 in Milwaukee, FLOOR360 hosted events for the interior design community. Each event featured an educational presentation on Carpeting and Soft Surface from Don Karlin, Director of Broadloom Sales for Nourison. We provided this opportunity for the interior designers to earn a technical CEU (Continuing Education Unit) if they are members of a professional association like ASID-WI (American Society of Interior Designers – Wisconsin Chapter).

Connecting with design peers
