CMA Atlanta Shop Tour + Social Event

Atlanta Cabinet Shop Tour

Monday, August 24 | 1:00–4:00 pm | Buford, GA

Kick off your IWF week with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Atlanta Cabinet Shop, hosted by Gary Balcom. This special pre-IWF event offers CMA members and industry professionals the opportunity to explore one of Atlanta’s leading custom cabinet manufacturing operations.

Participants will travel together by bus from the Georgia World Congress Center, arriving at Atlanta Cabinet Shop for an in-depth tour of the facility. 

You’ll see how the ACS team approaches production, workflow, and craftsmanship while gaining insights that can help improve efficiency and quality in your own operation.

This schedule also makes it easy for attendees to travel to Atlanta Monday morning and still participate in the event before IWF officially begins.

Schedule

• 1:00 pm – Bus departs Georgia World Congress Center

• 2:00 pm – Tour begins at Atlanta Cabinet Shop

• 4:00 pm – Tour concludes and bus returns to the GWCC

Transportation is included with registration. Space is limited.
