can i wear my IICRC patch,s shirt
Padded attendance figures never fooled the exhibitors or attendees. Can you quote press release figures when you sell exhibit space?No way will they have enough tools and things to to clean for the thousands of attendees Cooper tells us he gets to show up.
It only has room for improvement. The only thing about the event that was worth my time and money was networking with other cleaners. Shame on me for giving them my hard earned cash on what i thought would be educational seminars. I've been to many "Clean Shows" for the laundry\dry cleaning industry and they have real educational seminars and they're packed with people. But Maytag isn't teaching the class! I"m all for distributors pitching in and teaching - Jon Don does a good job - but the others need to wait and give the sales pitch at the booth.
I've been to lots of seminars that were presented by people that had something to sell and were good information. Organizations that GAS have presenter agreements that ban any product mention from the podium; we had a gentlemen's agreement with the presenters at the Cleaning College. (One gripe I heard there was from a guy that wanted the presenter to just tell him what to buy!)...but the others need to wait and give the sales pitch at the booth.
