There are a lot of people to thank so sorry if I miss someone. This was a long week that I will not soon forget!

First off I want to thank Ron for his hard work and dedication to move this industry in the right direction. Once again he has put on a great event and spent a ton of his own money and time to do so.

I also want to thank all of the sponsors for supporting the NCE event. Most of the sponsors have become like family to me. Some of them I see and speak to more frequently than my extended family.

The long week started for me on Monday with the kick off of CETA. NCE had a booth at the CETA show which I manned. Let me tell you I felt like a kid walking into a toy store when I walked into the exhibit hall. Most of the major players in the manufacturing of pressure cleaning products where in attendance. The experience was great I met a lot of great vendors and distributors. Tuesday was the day they let the “end user” better know as contractors into the CETA show and let me tell you there where orders being placed left and right! Cyclone and a few other manufacturers had live onsite demo’s that captured the attendees’ attention.

On Tuesday afternoon NCE moved into the Ballroom and set up shop. All of the vendors where running around setting up their booths and building new relationships with other vendors. Wednesday at 9 am the event kicked off! It was great to meet new faces and see some old friends. Thank you to all of the speakers for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I also heard a lot of great feed back from those that attended the paid courses. The only course I sat in on was Kevin Dubrosky’s and WOW I learned how little I really know about marketing. I am positive I will grow my business 100% from the knowledge I gained. Kevin is remarkably intelligent. I strongly recommend you buy his book and see him speak. http://kevindubrosky.com/ . Meeting the guys from WCR was great so great I may start cleaning windows. Thursday we rapped up the show with the Sun Brite Hot water skid giveaway. It was suspenseful drawing with key after key not opening the lock until finally a local from Ambassador Window cleaning picked the winning key.

If you have not attended a NCE event you are missing out and your only hurting yourself and your business. There is a wealth of knowledge shared at these events. The get together’s after the events are priceless as well. The friendships I have made and the creative juices that flow when I am at these events are truly priceless. I have grown my business 100% over the previous year consecutively for the last 3 years and I attribute it to these events and the people involved!

Thank you!
 
It was all good !!
.. and fun meeting you all, especially to put faces on the voices and avitars.
I've been pushing CETA to add contractors back in to the mix for several years..
To be able to get your questions and concerns DIRECTed to the manufacturers
is real important to the future of the industry..
The technology is about what YOU need,
AT the jobsite,
on a "difficult" day. Eh?

Thank you ALL for coming..
it inspires the suppliers to get even better at putting forth the effort.
 
It was a great couple of days. there was a tremendous amount of teaching that went on especially the extra classes A.Cs classes were excellent each one was jam packed with profitable information. I also took part of Kevin Dubrosky's class on marketing it was over the top.Everyone should get his book. When you realize that you are in the marketing business and you use your service business to cerate income you've got most of the problems licked.Thanks to Ron for continuing to move the industry forward.
 
I had a great time too. Kory, you are right, I do see y'all more that some of my family (extended or not! lol). I love going and talking to all the contractors at the end of the day and hearing what they learned and how they are excited to apply it to their business, and we've been to enough of these to know that is exactly what they do.

Thanks NCE for another great event!
 
This was a great event. Kory, when I met you in 2008 I had no idea that you had the organizational skills it takes to pull off events like this. Great Job!

Ron was, as usual, the pied piper and kept the pace up to where there were no lulls in the event.

The vendor area was great. That layout was perfect.

I'm glad we got to go.
