2020 sure has been one for the books! We were hopeful we would be able to gather in New Orleans by the time fall came around, but as we get closer that just doesn’t seem to be the case. So, in true 2020 fashion, we pivot! This year the DPHA Conference + Product Showcase is going virtual! We know you been honing your online meeting skills, and now you can put them to good use. DPHA CONNECT 2020 will offer the networking, product highlights, education the DPHA family has grown to expect from our annual conference.

#DPHAWeeklyWednesdayWebinar - August 5th
|
|
|
|
The DPH industry has been battling the internet for years. IMAP policies have been created, some enforced better than others, some showrooms have become etailers and some manufacturers have even started selling their products online. COVID-19 has brought this battle to the forefront, as people are hesitant to go into stores and more of our customers are shopping online. Join Joshua Moss from Advance Plumbing, Noah Taft from California Faucets and designer Molly Switzer, AKBD, as we discuss the DPH Industry and the INTERNET.
If you have questions you want to pose to the panel, topics you would love to see us cover, or are interested in participating in a panel,

Americh Unveils New Metal Finish for Sawyer Bathtub Collection
.
Americh is pleased to announce that they've added an additional finish to their Sawyer bathtub collection: Brass. Their beautiful brass, like other metallic offerings at Americh, is actual metal and not just metallic in appearance. As a living finish, the brass will patina over time, which brings a different design aesthetic to the tub and the bathroom as the tub ages.
The interior tub is acrylic, which makes it easy to maintain and clean. Artisans meld the metal and acrylic together to create a seamless finished product. The combination is comfortable, warm and lovely.
