CONNECTIONS FLORIDA 2009

August 21 2008 at 5:30 PM

Charles  

Are any arrangements being made yet for next years show? Never been to one yet but I would like to make plans early and start putting money away. Maybe I should have paid more attention to Connections when I lived in Florida, but never thought about it.

Is it possible to have the event at the Swan or Dolphin hotel in downtown Disney? They have a nice pool area, free boat to Epcot center.

We will be there!

We won't be hosting EncapFest at Connections this year. For the past few years we have been a GOLD SPONSOR of Connections. That pricey sponsorship included having a slot for EncapFest. This year the Connections organizers put us in the back of the hotel, while Howard Partridge was positioned right off the front lobby. Howard also got to start his program an hour before our start time, so he naturally captured the bulk of the attendees. The long and short of it is - it cost us about $75 per person to speak to the small crowd who attended EncapFest this year. And that's unfortunate, because it was a program that was packed with useful information. Had Connections planned this a little better, we could have filled up the room - like we've done every other year at EncapFest. Unfortunately we took a bath on this year's event. Therefore we're not planning to invest in a Gold Sponsorship again.

But PLEASE come by our booth and say hi. We would LOVE to see you

Sorry to hear that, Rick. That's really not fair...I remember the year before it was standing room only! I've always enjoyed Encapfest, it was actually the only seminar I went to; other than that, I went to the trade show only...

We (Masterclean Products LLC) exhibit at both Connection Conventions. May in FL and Sept. in LV.
The FL CC needs more of you men and women to attend. Not only for the instruction and insight that you will experience, but especially for the many quality exhibits.
New products and some that have been around for many years.
There is a lot to see and to talk about while there so BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!!LOL

Matt, if you're really lucky, a bit on the tall side, and not "short" sighted, you may even "overlook" me.

I'll be there also

Ooroo,

Shorty.
