You very welcome sir

@John_Martinez - do you mind if I take over your thread for a second and share some cool things happening at the convention this year? :grinning:

We have more people coming so far this year than the first 3 years of the event COMBINED.

A standard ticket includes 100% full access to all the speakers / classes & keynote - Speakers - The HUGE Convention

All your favorite manufacturers and industry distributors will be there - https://thehugeconvention.com/tradeshow/

If you feel like you just can’t get away from your business we set up100% free answering service for all attendees - https://thehugeconvention.com/free-answering-service-away/

There are tons of things to do in the area - most attendees make a little vacation out of it and bring the family - these are just a few things - https://thehugeconvention.com/home/to-do-in-the-area/

We also have a number of "Co-Located Events " happening this year before The HUGE Convention. - https://thehugeconvention.com/co-located-events/ - including the Service Software Summit, Spray Wash Academy, Parking Garage Cleaning Class and more!

If you haven’t booked a room yet the Marriott is sold out BUT there are a couple left at the Westin right by the Marriott but the block expires TODAY.

Josh Latimer who is one of the main stage speakers this year was kind of to interview a bunch of the speakers for us on his podcast. If you don’t listen to it you can check it out here: https://quicktalkpodcast.com/

Here are the episodes:

Okay, the take over is over. :grin: Let me know if anyone has any questions! We are super excited for the event and know this year will be bigger than ever!!

What do they want cleaned every month? Or is it just sections cleaned each month instead lf doing it in mass?

25

Did you mean to ask this in a different thread?

26

Lol yes

27

Jessica. By all means.

Question about the speakers. Are there time slots assigned yet? I’d like to know when and where for each so I can plan which ones to attend. Also, are the classes recorded so we can watch the ones we can’t attend?

28

The time slots/class schedule will be finalized and posted right before the convention. We’re still adding speakers and classes. :slight_smile: It’s open seating as usual so you don’t have to worry about reserving anything. Rest assured, you will have enough time to plan though!

For now, you can see the speakers and topics here: Speakers - The HUGE Convention

The classes won’t be recorded but I can certainly pass that along as a suggestion for future events!

29

Yea recording them might be good to make a DVD with the meat of the conference for those who couldn’t attend

PS The schedule with time slots is up :slight_smile: - https://thehugeconvention.com/schedule/

There is bound to be some last minute changes to it but this should be fairly set in stone.

As PWRA members do we get a cool badge to wear? It should be bigger than the UMACC badges. :grin:

Just getting a couple contacts that will cover all tour personal and business expenses is easier said than done. You’ll get there if you keep hustling. If it was that easy we’d all be making $20 an hour by next Friday.

33

Wow…you offer a free answering service to attendees. Am I the only one who thinks that’s amazing? Way to go above and beyond the call of duty. I wish I could attend but I’m just too busy and its too far. It would be cool if next year was a West Coast event. LA maybe? I realize theres alot of contractors in the South but nothing really beats the southwest coast come summer time. I live here and as far as I can tell the whole world is either moving to or vacationing here as I type this.

It’s always better to have a locals opinion on what to not waste money on. Best places to eat etc. We plan to go to the Georgia Aquarium, the Zoo. I don’t know what all, it’s kinda up to the woman lol

My opinion is that the aquarium is cool, the zoo is decent, but what you can’t find in any other city is stone mountain. It is like a miniature Mount Rushmore, stone was carved into important peoples faces. There is a cool trail to hike, a cable car if you don’t want to hike, it’s just an amazing place. If I could recommend one place within an hour of the conference, that would for sure be it! If you have kids we also have a six flags and a separate place called White Water, I think you can get a combo ticket and it’s a really cool place for the kids. We also have a legoland if there are any lego enthusiasts among y’all :- )

Why in the world would you want to do that? There isn’t anything very exciting at a chemical facility. Dirty warehouse, tanks ranging from 4000-55 gallons…lots of chemical raw materials on the racks…it’s nothing much.

What about the night life?

It’s Atlanta man . There is a huuuuuge night life there . Atlanta has been making a play to be the next Hollywood. I have a buddy in the film Buisness as apparently it’s the place to be.
