Trade shows - CleanItGreen - 07-28-2014
What trade shows do you guys attend? I see there is one coming up in Vegas and I've never been to one, but I don't for see the Atlanta to Vegas trip in my immediate future. Anyone know of others in the south?

Normally they have one in Clearwater Florida once a year which most guys have a good time at. Heck you may even meet Rick there.

It's smaller. It's more causal. It's in a gorgeous location! And it's NOT in Las Vegas.

Would it be worth it for a vlm cleaner only to attend? I just picture it being geared towards hwe?

The "Short" answer ------------------------ YES !!!
Look how many shows Rick Gelinas has attended.
I had over thirty years HWE experience under my belt when I first met Rick about ten years ago in Vegas at the Connections trade show in the Riviera.
He changed my whole perspective on VLM.
(I must admit though, that reading about Lonnie McDonald & listening to the late Gary Heacock also nudged me greatly).
If I hadn't of gone & subsequently met these fine Gentlemen, I'm sure I would not be where I am today.
Every time I have been across there, 4 trips to date, I have met great like-minded people & picked up so much information that in my mind has made each and every trip so worthwhile.
In the words of Nike, "Just do it", you won't regret it.
Plan in advance what you want to see, who you want to talk & listen to.
