By Emma Peterson. 

From acts of kindness to incredible innovation, the outdoor industry has been busy this November. 

There’s been a lot going on at OutdoorCoffeeShops (OCS) this November! It was our first full month up and running, and we have been busy with articles, podcasts, events and more! To recap the month and see what content you all have been enjoying, we’ve collected the top five articles from the month!  

Starting out our list, we have some incredible stories about innovation in the outdoor industry. Some of our crew members got the chance to attend SRS Distribution’s AI Summit and came back with some key takeaways, including the importance of effective use of AI through the test and learn method. Beyond the digital innovation, our top five list includes multiple articles about new products and services! This includes Tremco CPG’s expansion of their Nudura ICF brand and Sparkoz’s incorporation of 3D LiDAR into their TN70-Pro floor cleaning robots. 

Rounding out our list, we have an article from Coffee Shops writer Jesse Sanchez! In it, Jesse covered the upcoming World of Concrete show. In the article, he offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the show was planned and discusses the ways it is and the how “providing ground for the future of the concrete and masonry industry.” If you are attending or interested in attending World of Concrete this January, this article is a must-read!
