Make the most of your trip
It is February which means the most important event
for swimming pool pros in Florida is just days away.
Your association’s annual trade show is the best place
to get the most information on improving your skills,
your business and your industry network.
The Everything Under the Sun
sm
Expo is at the
Orange County Convention Center in Orlando February
13-14. Thousands of people have already registered
– are you one of them? Will your biggest competitor
be there getting the latest information
on products and technology? Will you
be there to get the same information?
The best way to make the most of
your trip toOrlando is to do the following:
1 – Review the course listing and register to attend those which will help
you improve your skills. Also, sign up some of your employees to take courses
which can build the strength of your business.
2 – Review the exhibitor list and floorplan to see which manufacturers will
be there and who you can spend some time with in the exhibit hall. Clicking
on the exhibitor’s online booth provides information about their products and
even promotions they will be offering. Make a list of exhibitors to visit and
bring it with you!
3 – Once in the hall be sure to visit the FSPA booth to register to win CASH!
More than $3,000 is up for grabs to those who get their badge scanned.
4 – Network with your peers at the Friday night private party at Café Tu Tu
Tango. For just $25 you can enjoy food and drinks and entertainment while
having a great evening among fellow pool pros!
If you aren’t an FSPA member the best time to join is at the show – all new
applicants are eligible for a $100 gift card and 3-months free membership.
See you very soon!
