Eight Great Reasons to Attend the Cabinets & Closets ExpoThe 2014 Cabinets & Closets Conference & Expo, which begins its three-day run on April 9 in Somerset, NJ, is not to be missed.

CCCE 2014 is a national conference and regional trade show rolled into one. It’s structure and size creates a dynamic, yet relaxing platform for engaging with peers from across North America on a non-competitive level, learning more about what makes the custom cabinet and closet markets tick, meeting with current and prospective vendors, seeing product demonstrations and much more.

As one of the organizers and a participant of every one of the past Total Storage Solutions events, I can unequivocally state that there is much to be gained by participating. In fact, here are just seven great reasons for spending a few productive days at the Northeast show:
