Speakers? Classes? Trade show?
From their website - I'm not seeing much value for our industry.
Am I missing something here? Where's the beef?

They're even hosting the show in the SAME hotel that was formerly used for Connections/Experience.
Looks like they're hoping to ride that wave a little bit.

We've seen the IICRC lacking luster for quite some time now.
Unfortunately this show looks to be more of the same.

But maybe I'm missing something.
I hope so for their sake. For our industries sake.

Yeah, this reeks of them trying to become relevant again. A close friend of ours is on their board and we give him crap all the time! In fact he is out of town right now at some big meeting with them.
Honestly, we have begun to let our certs with them go. They have never really done anything for us and it just seems like a waste of money to keep them. They raised their prices on us to pay for their new building and instead of upping their game they lost it.
They did that rebranding and then switched back which was kind of odd and bothersome because then they had to resend everyone cards, patches etc..
I'd be surprised if they get a good turnout at this event, but you never know.

From looking at the information and descriptions it seems like it is focused on the trade associations that make up the IICRC and the main members there of.

P.S. Interlink and Aaramsco are putting on a trade show as well this coming year. It seems like everyone is jumping on the trade show bandwagon. But then no one in the supplier side can seem to just get along, everyone has to have a beef with someone. Rumor has it that one of the other boards was banned from ICE because they had a beef with another supplier to the industry, and another rumor says that some suppliers didn't come to ICE because the Experience threatened to ban them if they showed up to ICE. It is just sad and childish if these "RUMORS" are true. There are plenty of opportunities in this world for everyone, come on keep you mouth shut and promote the benefits of your product, no need to tear others down. If you don't like someone just avoid them, not hard to do.
