The ThreadCentral Learning Center
Making its debut at the 2023 ICRBE!
25, 26 February 2023
MC Benton Convention Center Winston Salem NC
Hands-on learning at the ICRBE
The ThreadCentral Learning Center is an exciting new take on ICRBE show seminars!
For Attendees
An event schedule is being created which aims to cover basic, intermediate and advanced rod building topics.
Each seminar will be as practical as possible and early seminar suggestions include:
- How to mix and apply epoxy
- How to assemble and glue up different grips
- Wrapping guides
- Decorative wrap setup
- Thread Art software
- News & upcoming events from various vendors
For Vendors
Make the most of your investment in the ICRBE by becoming a Learning Center sponsor. Sponsorship opportunities exist in several forms:
- Sponsorship fees to help cover the cost of the event
- Provision of shared equipment (eg. rod lathes to be used by attendees)
- Delivery of seminars showcasing your products
- Product giveaways to attendees
- Various in-show advertising opportunities
What if I am a vendor but not at the ICRBE?
We’ve got you covered! Your company does not have to be at the show to still have a presence! Show your support by becoming a non-attending sponsor. You will get great exposure and we will take care of showcasing your products in the best possible manner. Attendees will love the fact that your brand is still represented.
