I must say that I was impressed with the convention. I sent an email to Jim at cleaner times about it. It has my thoughts.....
Jim,
I am a relatively small contractor who has been in and out of the business over the past 11 years and does power washing on a part time basis. I have been to about 5 round tables and all have had something that benefited those that attended.
To begin, The First Annual UAMCC Convention in Orlando 2009 was the best pressure washing industry event that I have been to, bar none. The setting was a nice one, no one was cramped, the setting allowed all walks to life to enjoy their stay in the area. The people in attendance were of all levels in the industry. The ego’s were not there, no one was better than the next and everyone had certainly taken a lot with them through the weekend.
The keynote speaker address and subsequent business building sessions by George Hedley were a wake up call to anyone in business. His unique perspective put quality thoughts in your head to question your business practices for the betterment of your company. The man is a business genius. The contractors that got the one on one meeting with him were very pleased with the additional time that they spent with him.
The breakout sessions were informative and very well attended. These sessions addressed all levels of knowledge and experience and many industry facets so that everyone walked away with a broader perspective than their own. These were truly an asset to this convention.
The presentation by Michael Parades of CAI was informative. This answered questions about dealing with property managers and what the other side looks for in your company.
The presentation by Toastmasters offered good information to contractors but in my opinion paled in comparison to what else was offered. Although the information provided was though provoking and beneficial, it followed some tough acts and as such did not rate high on the scale.
The exhibitors room was filled with many companies. This was unreal how much equipment and products were filled this room. Everyone got a chance to meet the distributors, learn about the products that they offer and spend some time with those that help their businesses succeed.
The amount of giveaways was staggering. The generosity of those that donated the products was unmatched by any round table that I attended. This was truly a special convention and provided the energy to get this organization to advance itself in the future.
I would like to extend a special thanks and thumbs up to The UAMCC Executive Director, Carlos Gonzales, the convention committee that put the event together, the Board of Director elects and those that participated to make this convention go off as well as it did. This was inspiring to see the level of dedication and personal sacrifice that others made to make this convention a huge success. Thanks!
let's hear what everyone else has to say....GO UAMCC :clap::clap::clap::clap:
