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!
