YOU'RE INVITED![/h]It was the spring of 2009 when the idea hit Centrum Force co-founders Greg Turcotte and Tom Monahan. Create a two day event that would bring together fellow rug washers from across America and beyond. Make it super informative yet informal and relaxed. Bring in industry luminaries and experts to share their techniques and knowledge. Host it in close proximity to a successful,rug cleaning facility. And most of all, make it a fun experience where ideas and experience would be easily shared and friendships blossom. 
Well, it worked! Hundreds of rug washing pros like you have gathered for five of these highly successful one and two-day Rug Summits.

It's next week! Thanks Mikey for the promo. Not much money for great content and hands-on demos. Lunch, dinner and drinks are furnished for the nominal cost of attendance. Still time to get in.

Should have around 50 Rug Summit attendees for our Spring event in Wake Forest, NC. Robert Pettyjohn is geeked to have everyone at his place.

There is still room for a few more to join us.

Check our website to register and select hotel of choice.

If you missed this one, there will be a big two day Rug Summit coming this Fall in Columbus, Ohio.

Thanks Mikey.

Rug Summit 6 was a huge success. Some MB folk were there too. Bryan provided an excellent presentation that made us all consider dressing up our rug plants up even more. My public thanks again Bryan - good job!

(The ARCS conference that followed provided great content and networking too)

 

[The Great Oz]

What are the chances that I'd grab a couple of good/bad pictures off of the internet for my presentation and end up sitting next to the owner of one of them? I told Frank Cabrera that his building was included, but made him sweat to find out his was the good example.

I've got to hand it to you Tom, you put together a good program. I was surprised at how many people flew across the country for a one-day event. Didn't hurt to use the shop of one of the most gracious people in the industry either. Robert's place was too packed with people to get a good look at it though.

Thanks for the invite.

Tom and Greg put on a very good rug summit, very informative for Ruggies with barely a mention of their own equipment.
Robert Pettyjohn had a very neat and organized plant and was a wonderful host plus we had mountains of Carolina BBQ and peach pie.
Finally got to meet the Sweendawg too.

There was a picture of a new kind of dusting machine that Tom and Greg will make for anyone that wants one.
Reminded me of this much older and larger version from 1907 -

I must have been alseep or something. Sorry we missed it as NC is always an exciting adventure for us and we would have loved to been a part of this.Hopefully we will get another east coast shot at it.

The next one in September in Columbus OH is about a 6 hour drive from you Chris, or a short flight.

 

[GCCLee]

Thanks Ken,
Being Southern though we would preffer something South. Nothing against the north other than cold air. Also Being new and having to watch our pennies that would kinda be costly to us.

NC would have been awesome as we could have planned to head even deeper into redneck territory to visit family, mini vacation of sorts with training to boot.
Example: Father lives close to jon-don in Fl. so when we do vacate, the wife and I will plan it around some classes since Grandma and Grandpa can cage our little animal : )

 

[Ken Snow]

LOL- Northerners consider Columbus the start of the South!

 

[T Monahan]

The next one in September in Columbus OH is about a 6 hour drive from you Chris, or a short flight.

And Ken will be a featured speaker! He will be discussing the business of rug washing.

 

[GCCLee]

Thanks for the update Tom : )
We will keep Sept in mind. Lots of planning has to occur when the Lee Family sets up for adventure so.... closer is better but we need the edumacation : )
