Thad 135 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 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. http://pressurewashingconvention.com 1 Beth n Rod reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 30, 2014 I don't know Thad. Awesome takes up a lot of room. The last one in PA. was great and we found it worth the time not only in seminars and educational sessions but also in the showcasing of products by vendors. It didn't hurt either that we won a pressure washer. (sweet!) All that aside... We ended up buying a window cleaning machine from one of the vendors through a distributor and have already put it to use and making money. It works great! Anyone considering attending would find it worth their while. Thad doesn't skimp on the details. Great food too! Check it out!

Ryan556 43 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 I plan on attending. This will be my first convention. Does anyone bring their rigs? I'm thinking about just driving out, but my wife's SUV is much more comfy than a work truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thad 135 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan556 43 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 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.
