The countdown continues 8 weeks till vegas

[Ken Snow]

Maybe there will be an impromtu meeting at a bar at the Hilton or some other not so dingy venue?

 

[Chris A]

I'll be there in spirit...

Ken,

You're not eager to get out of Detroit, are you?

PS At least it will be "dry heat" in Las Vegas!

Ken, I've only heard good things about the hooker bar here on MB.

Question about the trade show, can you enjoy it all in one day or should a 1st timer allow 2 days?

 

[Ken Snow]

Any good things you have heard are greatly exagerated Jim. As for the trade show I have never spent more than 2 hours or so total, but I am extremely ADHD and really go more for the vegas experience with an uncle sam discount.

Steve- it's brutal outside and then freezing inside, my body gets so confused in Vegas.

If you are serious about buying/choosing new equipment you really should devote two days. There are a lot of booths even if you detour Scotty Warrington's stomping grounds.

PS And if you can free up the hour before the trade show opens at 4:00 PM on Wednesday come by at 3:00 for my "How to Sell Your Business and Retire While You Are Still Young Enough to Enjoy It" no-high-pressure-to-sell-you-more-information presentation.

Either way, be sure to stop by Jon-Don's booth and introduce yourself!

Jim I would be willing to bet anything related to carpet cleaning is going to be boring as hell. Now bring a few friends, hit the casinos up with a modest amount of cash, watch a few shows, sample some fine dinning etc. and you will have a blast. I have never really given any thought to going to Vegas, BUT if you promised to bring your unbelievably hot daughter I would make the trip. Just kidding. It's still too far, but your daughter is very nice. You did something right.

Steve's reply is from a vendor's point of view, mine from an attendees point of view. Take your pick on whose advice to follow.

Ken
Ps seriously if you are a thing person and like to touch and try lots of different pieces of equipmment you could probably spend 2 days at the trade show and have a blast. I get nervous and glassy eyed around equipment.

"Nervous and glassy eyed?" I thought that was just you reacting to me at the Jon-Don booth, Ken! Seriously though, all you gearheads take note- Ken is living proof that equipment/ technical prowess on their own are not the ticket to success.

PS Despite Ken's assertion to the contrary, Jim, I'm not really a vendor of anything except the SFS seminar. I don't even have a Jon-Don catalog down here in the Dominican Republic and my current product knowledge on what we carry is almost zero. But I remember the first industry trade show I attended in 1976. I was like a kid in a candy store. Plan on spending two days- you will need it.

This year will be my 4th consecutive connections. I always enjoy 2 or 3 of the seminars, the rest are infomercials. It is a great place to network and check out new products and even try them out. There are always 1 or 2 surprise products out there and with a little gambling on a players club card, your hotel and meals are cheap or free!
