Welcome

We are very excited for this year’s West Coast Art & Frame Show and National Conference because there’s a lot to be excited about.
    The show will be held at a new venue, The Mirage Resort & Casino. For the first time, the Professional Picture Framers Association will be conducting their 2012 Annual Convention and PPFA International Framing Competition at the West Coast Art & Frame Show. This year we are proud to welcome new instructors, exhibitors, and sponsors along with our renowned PFM writers and popular industry experts.
    Succeeding today requires great framing skills, excellent customer service, and a clear understanding of retailing. With more than 90 different sessions, The National Conference is designed to provide you with practical ideas, techniques, and strategies for improving your business. We strive to help you achieve these goals like no other source in the industry. Each session is created to have an immediate impact on your business, providing you with new tools.
    As 2012 begins, it’s a great time to take a fresh look at your business and improve your strengths with the wide range of ideas and techniques offered at the Conference. You also have the opportunity to visit with vendors at the West Coast Art & Frame Show and see the newest product lines and equipment, which is a great way to start the new year.
    We're looking forward to seeing you January 29-February 1 at the National Conference in Las Vegas.
