  • 1.  Thank you APA

    I just joined APA this year so I could take the classes and visit the trade show. I wasn't sure what to expect till I got there. I was very impressed with the whole conference, especially the trade show. 

    My goal was to  come away with at least 6 nuggets I could use in my business and I got so much more than that. I came back reinvigorated to try so many new ideas.

    The trade show was great and I ended up getting some new equipment I wasn't planning on getting before I came but once I saw what I could do with it I dove right in. 

    I met some great new people and appreciated everything about the conference

    Thanks all

    Kurt,

    What tremendous recap of your APA Expo experience.  Thank you for sharing your positive feedback.  I am curious.....what equipment did you purchase?

    Thanks again for joining APA. With the 6+ nuggets you picked up last week, your effort is already paying off.

    If I can assist you, please reach out.

    Glad to hear about the positive experience you had at this year's Expo.  It's been a while since I've been able to attend.  Fortunately, I have the internet and other APA membership benefits that keep me up to date on the latest trends.  I'm going to make great efforts to attend next year.  

    It's always good to hear stories where attendees are buying equipment and product.  It has to be worth our exhibitors investment to participate in these shows.  Without them it would be difficult for this event to exist.
