They did a live show at the New Orleans Networking Event and it was a blast! Hopefully Michael Mole won’t attempt to destroy any priceless antiques like he did at the Beauregard-Keyes House but they do get a lot wilder on the live shows.

I got more rooms at the Gaylord. When these are gone, it’s over! I also got some rooms at the Inn at Opryland across the street from the Gaylord. $109 a night, free parking, no resort fee, free shuttle to convention. http://www.marriott.com/meeting-event-hotels/group-corporate-travel/groupCorp.mi?resLinkData=PWRA%20Convention%20Inn%20at%20Opryland%20Room%20Block%2C%20Aug6-10%2C%202014%5Ebnagi%60PWRPWRA%7CPWRPWRB%7CPWRPWRC%7CPWRPWRD%60109.00-119.00%60USD%60false%608/6/14%608/11/14%607/16/14&app=resvlink&stop_mobi=yes

Yes, we ran out of rooms for the convention at the Gaylord Opryland. But don’t panic like I did. We are getting more rooms added to our block today, so give it time to update.

Clarification- This question keeps coming up so I guess there is some confusion with another event. 2014 Convention tickets are ALL ACCESS. There is no bait and switch where you come for one price and then have to pay for each class when you get there. http://pressurewashingconvention.com

The room block is just about sold out for the 2014 Pressure Washing and Window Cleaning Convention and Trade Show. I’ll do what I can to get more as soon as possible. http://pressurewashingconvention.com

130 Tickets gone 52 days until 22 days left in room block http://pressurewashingconvention.com

Cool, we'll see you in Nashville!

Some people drive their rigs but most don't. It's a huge resort, so it's not like the typical round table where people spend a lot of time milling around in the parking lot. Depending on where you're coming from Southwest flights into Nashville are cheap! Is your wife coming? A LOT of "significant others" are attending, some to take the classes and some just to have a tax deductible vacation at a world class resort.

I see Judy. I don't see myself in this one.

I met him at Celeste’s RT way back when. 2006? Awesome guy.

It was good finally meeting Rick in person after all these years!

Somebody asked me this past weekend at the event in PA if I just used Joseph D. Walters Agency because they gave the Pressure Washing Resource Association a deep discount. I have been with JDW for several years- since way before the PWRA ever existed and there was no such thing as an insurance discount. I went with them because after I had been in business a few years I realized that the insurance I had was like most- just a piece of paper that allowed me to work. I went with Joe Walters because I wanted actual protection and an insurance company that knew what I needed better than I knew myself. The additional coverages and their lightning fast service when I needed additional insureds to land a contract were the cherry on top.

No, they're not.

And you don't even have to text for info!

John, the 2014 PWRA Convention (250ish attendance 2013) is going to be a joint convention with the WCRA (over 600 members) at the Gaylord Opryland. We reserved space to double the trade show as well as the general sessions.

Dates are set for the 2014 Pressure Washing Convention. We'll be back at the incredible Gaylord Opryland Resort on August 8,9. We have doubled the trade show space and teaching areas. The keynote speaker and other general addresses will be in the Ryman Ballroom. It's stunning!

Mole and Jersey have both been there the last two years. Did you meet them, John?

Here's the link to the FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/675847835773916/ The full convention website and info will be posted here on TGS as soon as it is up but you have the confirmed date and location for next year. Watch the Convention forum for full details. The 2013 Pressure Washing Convention was the largest, most exciting pressure washing event in recent years and 2014 is going to blow it away. We are doubling the size of the trade show and moving the keynotes into the fabulous Delta ballroom. The Gaylord Opryland is an incredible resort and this is an awesome opportunity to combine a tax deductible family vacation with the biggest pressure washing event of the year.
