Another FDIC show in Indy has come and gone. On Monday and Tuesday we started off with the H.O.T. training. It was great to be out on the collapse site with great guys like Mike, Nick, Nuge, Joey, Tom, Jeremy, Joe, Nigel and Larry (sorry to anybody I missed). Having the opportunity to work with you and the 107 students that came through the class was a privilege. I think everyone appreciated the weather this year, which was much improved from last year… no wind, rain, sleet or chapped faces. The SearchCam 3000 was a hit with students and the feedback was extremely positive. It was a shame we didn’t have enough time to break out the Delsar and CON-SPACE gear, but time was at a premium and you can only do so much in a day.
The day before the show we assembled our entire sales team for a meeting to discuss how we are going to move our business forward into the future. This covered evolutionary and revolutionary product development and feedback from the field (we really do listen to our customers). It was really worthwhile and thanks to the entire team for participating…even Matt.
As usual, the show blew me away. For all the talk of FDIC getting smaller this year, when I was on the show floor the aisles were constantly full of people. I saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones too. As usual Claddagh, the Slippery Noodle, Bucca, Olives and Nicky Blaines rocked. See everyone again next year!
