    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.

    I'm not concerned with the cost of plane tix. Its only a 6 hour drive from the new house. Between getting ready, driving and flying, its about the same...I just don't have to get assaulted by the TSA!

    It will just be me attending this one. My wife will be home with the kiddos. We are going to Costa Rica in September...that's this years vacation. We were going to go to Fiji, but flight time really cuts into the vacation time.

    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.

    The 2013 Pressure Washing Convention was the biggest pressure washing event of the year but we’re not stopping there! 

    This year we are doing a joint event with the WCRA and it is HUGE. We have reserved over 30,000 square feet of trade show, ballroom, and classroom space at the amazing Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center and we are going to fill every inch with awesome.

    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.

    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.
