We are now looking forward the exhibiting at the Greenbuild conference being held in Philadelphia, PA, November 18 - 23.  We will be in the Expo Hall the 20 & 21 booth # 4042, stop and say hello!

It’s been almost a month since we returned from Metalcon 2013 and we have finally caught up!  It had been a great week of putting a face to the name.  Handshake after handshake was given as introductions were made and people were recognized.  It was a wonderful week.

Our trip to Atlanta started with a 6 am flight.  I know what we were thinking, right?  But since we had only a limited time to get our display built we had to get there early.  There were five of us to clean, build and put the finishing touches to our display.  We were done by late afternoon and boy were we tired, but our display looked great!

The team had dinner at one of the nearby restaurants in Atlanta.  The food was awesome as well as the company.

Tuesday was the first day of the show and it was very exciting!  We met our neighbors and enjoyed the camaraderie of the event.  Metal Plus was videoed for a spot in the Best of Metalcon 2013! 

Mario demonstrated our brackets at Solar Bay. Along with a presentation, he responded to audience questions and provided thoughtful and authoritative answers.  That evening the Metal Plus team attended a reception for the Metal Construction News in the Atrium Terrace of the Omni Hotel.  The reception celebrated the inductees to the Metal Construction Hall of Fame.  The reception gave everyone a chance to unwind and mingle while enjoying  some fabulous food!

Wednesday flew by as people milled about asking questions and watching demonstrations given at booth # 800.  More handshakes and acknowledgements were made, finally a face that goes with that email! LOL!  We took the time to have our picture taken as a remembrance of the event and a motley crew we are!

The last day of the show was slow.  Despite that, Metal Plus LLC and s-5! had photos taken as the announcement of Metal Plus becoming s-5!’s newest distributor was made.  Rob Haddock and Mario had photos taken of THE handshake solidifying what should be a long and prosperous business relationship for years to come.

As with all good things the show ended we said good bye to our new friends and broke down our display. We flew home on Friday, boy were our arms tired hahaha, sorry just had to. 

We now have our sights set on Greenbuild being held in Philadelphia, November 20 – 22. 

Hope to see you there!
