Featured Presenter
Nathan Parsons, CEO of The Porcelain Slab Co.

When you are an early adopter, you tend to learn things the hard way.  This is true for Nathan Parsons of The Porcelain Slab Company located near Raleigh, NC.  Working with porcelain slabs since 2014, Mr. Parsons has found more than a few unique ways to fail with porcelain panels, but its through those failures that he has found a knack for explaining the process to designers, fabricators, and installers alike.  As the market shifts towards more and more acceptance of porcelain slabs in all facets of architectural design, Mr. Parsons hopes to assist those new to the material in how they should design, fabricate, and install to meet industry norms and long lasting impressions.
