Roseville, Calif. — The Western Home Furnishings Assn. plans to hold its annual conference and trade show at the Fairmont Orchid resort on Hawaii's big island next May 21–23.
The three-day event will offer educational programs to arm home furnishings retailers with the latest business-building information. Topics will include sales and management techniques and how to beef up the bottom line. WHFA has scheduled two general sessions, and details are still in the works.
