On September 9th-12th we were in Charleston, SC for the UAMCC National Convention.
Attendance was very good with the number that came over 100 more than originally expected. With a large number of vendors as well.
On the 9th there were outdoor demonstrations from a number of vendors showing off equipment like surface cleaners and vacuum reclaim equipment.
Some of the classes also started on Thursday with many at capacity where those not already signed up had to wait and try to attend later repeats of the class.
Soap Warehouse gave two class presentations during the event. One on Friday on general "Chemical Safety" and the second early Saturday morning on "How to set up OSHA training." Classes were divided up into categories such as Safety/Environmental, Business Development, Technology and Sales & Marketing along with the General Sessions.
Besides all of the learning going on activities where also going on, the vendor exhibit area in the main meeting hall was open starting on Friday at 10:00 and was open for attendees to stop by the vendors booths until the show room floor closing on Saturday at 2:00 pm just prior to the anticipated show give a aways.
Every night there was a meet and great during the hotels happy hour in the bar area where many attendees and vendors alike hung out and networked.
It was a great event and we look forward to meeting more of you at the next one we will be attending, which will be the PWNA Convention in Charlotte, NC in November.
