BURLINGTON, N.C. — Shade fabric and hardware supplier Trivantage is launching a new educational seminar for 2026 exploring all things shade sail.
Led by the creators of Shade Sail University, an educational initiative by Wholesale Shade, the one-day Shades of Innovation seminar will be held on Feb. 20 in Fort Worth, Texas. The seminar will dive into themes such as design, 3D rendering, theory, post and bracket installation, measuring, plus tips and tricks.
Shades of Innovation is the latest in a series of educational events presented by Trivantage. The company recently introduced The Makers Meet, geared toward workroom and upholstery professionals, and it continues to host Performance on Deck marine fabrication seminars around the country.
“Beyond supplying materials, our mission is to help our customers excel in their craft by equipping them with knowledge and resources,” said Brett Baird, vice president of sales at Trivantage. “We’re excited to continue driving the industry forward through new educational opportunities like Shades of Innovation.”
February’s event will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Worthington Renaissance Hotel, where attendees can receive a special room rate until Jan. 29. The next Shades of Innovation seminar is planned for March 5 in Los Angeles. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, and door prizes will be raffled. Attendance is free, though interested parties are encouraged to RSVP here.
