Celebrating our 33rd year of publication • Visit us online at www.worldfencenews.com Celebrating our 33rd our 33rd our year of year of year publication • Visit us online at www.worldfencenews.com DECEMBER 2017 It has been many years since Phoenix, Arizona hosted the FENCETECH convention and trade exhibition, but in 2018 the show, now co-located with NOMMA's METALfab convention, returns to the desert city. Beginning on page 6, read all about the many program activities and social events planned for the event, which runs Feb. 6-9, 2018 at the Phoenix Convention Center & Venues. Note for convention visitors: If you have not had a chance to visit the spectacular Grand Canyon, you should work that into your agenda, if possible. Phoenix is considered the main gateway to the Grand Canyon, and the drive takes only about 3-5 hours, depending on traffic and driving conditions, of course. Well worth it! But be aware that while the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park is open year round, weather can be unpredictable during the winter months and could affect access to the park. So be sure to take that into consideration if you plan to make Grand Canyon National Park part of your FENCETECH itinerary.
