I just found out about the experience expo next week and was wandering if it is worth the time and money, I have never attended any cleaning expo's. The expo's from my previous career had some pretty good training.
Thanks

The Experience Expo
- Thread starter Lwood
- Start date
All expos are worthwhile if you can take something away that will help you make more money. That being said, the only expos I have attended were put on in part by Mikey from this board. Any of his hands on seminars or real world speakers are worth traveling for. I have come away from every one of his "fests" with new contacts, new ideas or great deals on equipment. I think his next fest is not until October. Clearwater is not a bad place to be on business though.

Save your money for October.

I'm not far from Clearwater... besides Mark's talk...which I mostly heard between the Saigers and Meg's talk at the St Petersburg Mikey's Fest, ...didn't really see much value.
If I went it would only be a quick stroll to say hi to Erik and Mark.

It's not possible to say a quick hello to Mark

Yes. Most don't want to ship anything back so you can get your best deals there. You can get just a Trade Show pass.

A lot of vendors have deals on equipment. A lot of the major manufacturers and distributors will be there. It is a good chance to compare equipment and to see new things you never thought you would need. Not as good as a Mikey's Fest I'm sure buy very beneficial.

They didn't bring things to sell, it's not a swap meet but there are pre order specials and a few deals to take home show used gadgets
Ok, I was thinking more swap meet style. Glad I asked.
Are there any others coming up sooner than Mikey's fest that yall would recommend

Nothing worth going to..
Sounds like you're looking for some tools, anything in particular?

The experience is barely worth $10., certainly not the near $500 they ask.
I feel sorry for the vendors

10 dollars to walk around where the Vendors have already paid, seems a dis-service to the Vendors.
The Vendor area shouldn't cost anything to visit... definitely charge Larry C. to walk around though.

Any high pH prespray works great
Just add Oxy Clean or Bio Solve as needed

The TH40 spinner is king
I'll have one up for auction in May
If Fred gets jiggy you'll be able to buy the ultimate detailer here in two weeks
Those mini spinners are a waste

Would you recommend a hard surface wand instead of the mini spinner and if so which one?
I was just selling out to turbo brand and it seemed like a good idea for showers
I mentioned tile to some customers and already have a few jobs lined up for the end of next week so I have to get something soon but might be able to get by with just a wand until the auction in May and Fred get his detail tool (although I don't know who Fred is) you sound like his detail tool is worth the wait

$250.00 bid on the detailer. Before Porkbutt starts crying I'm just jacking the price, I want dibs on it.

Next Friday is stock up day at interlink supply. They offer deals on some equipment and chemicals.
