What a fantastic time we had at the 2025 SMA Annual Conference in Pensacola, Florida! From April 10–12, stair professionals from across North America gathered on the Gulf Coast to connect, learn, and be inspired—and we’re still riding the momentum.
With the sparkling blue waters of the Florida panhandle as our backdrop, attendees enjoyed a full schedule of educational sessions, networking opportunities, exhibits, and stair castles. Whether it was your first SMA Conference or your fifteenth, there was something for everyone.
Highlights from the Conference:
Expert-Led Sessions: We dove into the latest on stair codes, design innovations, and business strategies that are shaping the future of the industry.
Shop Talk & Tech: Our Vendor Showcase and hands-on demos gave attendees a close-up look at new products, tools, and machinery changing the way we build.
Peer Connections: From beachside dinners to breakout discussions, the conference offered countless ways to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and build meaningful industry relationships.
Celebrating Excellence: The StairCraft Awards honored standout craftsmanship across categories. The level of skill and artistry on display was truly next level.
And of course, the Florida sunshine didn’t hurt! 🌞🌴
Whether you came to grow your business or simply get inspired, we hope you walked away with valuable takeaways—and maybe a few sandy shoes.
