This year’s first UAmCc Convention was well received with high accolades despite the short notice for planning the event and the time of year. They came from as far away as Canada, Mexico, California, Maryland, Montana, New York and Michigan. Participants were excited about the networking opportunities that were available through meeting people in various trades and were not disappointed. Numerous comments received after the show, confirmed and exceeded our expectations. The show enabled opportunities for various trades to network within the confines of one show in this unique setting. Exhibitors commented on how the attendees were serious about their business and were there to purchase both in and out of their own personal trade.
The opening keynote speaker, Vicki LaPlant of Vital Learning Experiences (http://www.vitallearningexperiences.com/ ) got things rolling with a presentation on paradigm shifting and thinking outside the box. The group was motivated to analyze different ways to grow their business and to improve their personal life. Vicky LaPlant was more than just a motivational speaker, she was outstanding! Every attendee was fixated on the her every word and the relationship of her presentation to the formation of the UAmCc.
During the presentation, Vicky asked for a volunteer to present a particular situation where changing paradigms would enhance their business. Robert Hinderliter then explained how paradigm change was the key initiative to creating the UAmCc. This began an extremely informative discussion that captured all in attendance.
Training and education was the main stay for the show. The following classes were presented on Thursday and Friday: air duct cleaning, awning cleaning, carpet cleaning, environmental power washing, financing equipment, janitorial business, marketing, pressure washing, pressure washer maintenance, pure water technologies, target marketing, truck washing, water damage restoration, water stain removal, window cleaning, wood restoration as well as writing contract and bids. Attendees also received certification for Air Duct Cleaning, Environmental Power Washing, Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning and Carpet Cleaning.
Friday, May 5th was our Dinner Banquet. Keeping in step with the celebration of Cinco de Mayo, a fine selection of Mexican cuisine was served and an authentic mariachi singer serenaded diners. Donna Griffin, A.C.O.R.N. Coordinator, gave a presentation on positive thinking and five ways to implement it into your life.
The demonstrations were on Saturday from 9:00 am to Noon. Lunch was served and the exhibit hall was open for trade from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
Following are quotes from a few of the attendees:
“This was a great 1st time convention and trade show. All of the instructors were very informative on the areas they were teaching. I would definitely recommend to anyone in our business that they should attend next year’s show. I know I can’t wait. Thanks again to everyone at the UAMCC for the knowledge I have learned from you.”
