For several years now, I have attended the Southwest Fertilizer Conference, where I work a booth for Monolithic Constructors alongside many other vendors. It gives me the opportunity to share how Monolithic Domes can provide safer, better-protected, and more cost-effective fertilizer storage.

People often stop by because they have never heard of using a dome for fertilizer storage. Some are familiar with our work, while others are customers we have served over the years.

I always enjoy the conference, but this year was a little different. The Southwest Fertilizer Conference was celebrating its 100th anniversary. Reaching that milestone was a significant achievement. It has been a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful organization.

The conference is usually held in Nashville, Tennessee, but this year it took place in the historic city of New Orleans, Louisiana.

The 100th anniversary celebration was held at the Superdome. A fantastic jazz band, the Mardi Muses, and Mardi Gras stilt walkers escorted us from the hotel. We enjoyed great food, desserts, drinks, music, games, and so much more.

What makes this conference special is the community it brings together. Everyone comes ready to network, learn, and find new ways to grow their business, vision, and impact. I am grateful that Monolithic Constructors continues to be part of it.
