I just wanted to thank Kory & Ron for an amazing experience. Whoever didn't get to make it out here, you missed out on a wealth of knowledge. It was definitely an experience and worth the price of every class times a hundred! This would be a good thread for everyone's input on what you did and didn't like. My least favorite part was the organization of classes. These guys tried really hard to make sure a lot of stuff wouldn't overlap; however, I wanted to take every possible class. The best part was that one whole wish will be granted to a child through the make a wish foundation all because of the support! It's truly amazing how an industry can come together to help one another! I'd write more but it's dangerous to type while driving home from the Expo [=
 
Absolutely Gary. The Make a Wish addition changed this event from a self centered "win a skid" into a inspirational and industry leading way for us all to show the world that we are more than contractors. We are professionals! Pros that care and give back!

Thank you Gary. NCE is a business so I always welcome feedback. As we grow we will make some changes. I would like you to pm me any concerns you have . We had a short amount of time and a vast amount of info and demos. If you had any issues with the hotel please email or pm me ASAP as I need to let them know right away. Thank you to all that attended the show and helped to raise money for the make a wish foundation. Paul and I appreciate it very much!

Thanks to Paul and Kory! We had raised money for contractors & even dogs in the past. This was a great thing but all the work was many. Not just Kory or even Paul. The lady who donated the unit back to be raffled , each and every person that bought a ticket. We have so Many to thank, Celeste for over 500!!!! Wow roger and Celeste. I'm so happy to see you guys doing so well after many years of hard work.

All the distributors that donated for the raffle, each and everyone counted.

This event was great all the way around, Kory did a great job. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the people where. This event recharged my battery's in making me believe the industry has a bright future.
 
I couldnt make it as well, we were doing some work for a new P/M but I will be seeing Ron & Tony and a few others tomorrow for a boat ride on the Gulf of Mexico. Glad to hear it was a good event. I remember the first one here in Lakeland we had about 30 people, it has grown substantially since then, good job Kory & Ron and to all the distributors.

Tampa for us was a real eye opener. I learned a lot of ways to generate new markets, customers, services, and $. The best for me was the comradery of my fellow cleaners. I got to meet some incredible people, that I'm sure I'll will continue to stay in touch with. Being my first time I was not sure how it would be, but it was awesome. Highly recommend to anyone who has not gone, go! It is worth every penny you'll spend. Chris's class was a great, lots of great marketing ideas, the man speaks from his heart good or bad. I think I'm "shavin that chit of my chin." I got to dunk the roof cleaning king, sorry Chris

. Joe's class was a real eye opener for me, as far as expanding my business to bring in additional income in the cold months. Seeing demos and being able to use equipment hands on was great. I never knew roof cleaners and pressure washers made such great dancers. LOL! Its was great to finally put faces to names and logos. Highly recommend attending if you've never been. Thanks to all the Instructors, Speakers and Vendors. Kory, Paul, and Ron put on a great event and raised a great amount of $ for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The only thing that sucked was leaving at 5:30pm saturday and getting home at 1:30pm Sunday. Gotta love canceled flights

My most valued experience was AC's free class about "Getting Off the Wand". I've taken AC's excursion which really helped but he seems to have refined his message. Especially since I am at a crossroads of moving into my first rented commercial space and selecting candidates to train and invest in. At times I can resort to getting behind the wand and leaving the world behind which takes me away from my vision. Not that you can't make money with one truck, but creating a succesful business that runs without you is a challenge. Thanks AC. And thanks Ron, though every time we started dialogue you'd walk away in mid sentence, lol.
 
My husband and I attend the conference that was this weekend. There was a lot of Education. My husband and I attended one of the best National Cleaning Expo of Tampa Bay , Florida this past weekend. We went to all the free Speakers and learned a lot. The one thing we learned is that education is never ending . We also learned patience is very important and things will happen. Chris and I want to put out a special thanks to Cory and Ron for all the effort he has put into this conference. Cory put a lot of effort and time to put this together with Ron. Thanks to you both.

Everything was great. Thanks to everyone that worked on the weekend. We took several classes. Hotel was fine. I had a bedroom suite since there were 3 of us. Only problem was a few moinor maintiance issues that I left them know about when leaving.
Cann't wait till next year.
 
Had a great time!!! Got lots of good ideas for articles, met wonderful people, plan to highlight a number of event-related things in our upcoming issue, and special focus on the education/certifications that took place. Also thrilled to see the generosity expressed through the Make a Wish, as well as in talking to many of you and learning more about how you each give back in your own wonderfully generous ways.

Thanks to Ron and Kory for all you do. It was a joy and honor to finally meet you guys in person.

This was a great all around event. We spent a good deal of time in the classroom and took away a great deal of information! As an added bonus, the people we met will be lifelong friends. It was great to be part of this event and also become part of a child's wish thru the Make a Wish Foundation. Wonderful event, looking forward to the next one. Thanks to Ron, Kory, the vendors and speakers the event went over without a hitch!
 
Id have to say it was the best by far. I did notice that attendance was down this year. But I think one of the reasons is this: The free classes are nice but by charging for the real educational classes brought
only
business owners that wanted to invest in their businesses and grow. No one was there just for the free skid give away. I was blown away by the generosity of the men and women there with the Make a Wish
donations.
Thanks Ron. Thanks Kory. Thanks vendors. Remember guys. Support these vendors!
