InspectionWorld Albuquerque Recap
Based upon the positive feedback coming in to ASHI headquarters over the past few months, it appears that InspectionWorld 2004 was a major success! With the final attendee count coming in at 1,415, this one of the largest attendance for the long-running event, which took place January 15-18 at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M.
This year’s conference and trade show had all the elements for which InspectionWorld has become famous —a great education program, entertaining social events, recognition of outstanding members, and the op-portunity for attendees to network with friends and business associates.
InspectionWorld 2004 also was the setting for the launch of The ASHI Experience. With a Town Hall session on Friday afternoon, followed by multiple ASHI Experience breakout sessions, attendees were able to get first-hand information on this exciting new ASHI venture direct from the key players .
The sessions enriched attendees during the day, and at night they were treated to social events focused on networking and fun. On Thursday, January 15, attendees “Got Their Kicks on Route 66” during the open-ing night reception in the exhibit hall. With food and beverage to keep their energy and spirits up, conversations with the exhibitors were lively, and plenty of business was done – much to the exhibitor’s delight – during the three-hour reception.
Saturday, January 17th, was the date for the elegant President’s Gala, where a good time was had by all. “I had a great time,” said ASHI President Steve Gladstone. “The facilities were top notch and the Gala was just so much fun. The band was the best entertainment we’ve had in years!” With ample food and beverage on hand, and the lively musical entertainment of the Pink Flamingos, the buffet lines AND the dance floor were busy all night! A special thank you goes out to Pro-Lab, who so generously sponsored this event, as well as our other premium sponsors, Dearborn Home Inspection, HomeGauge, Inspectionnews.com and Inspection Training Associates.
To sum it all up, the annual convention was an educational and social success on all counts. InspectionWorld 2005 will be held January 13-15 at the Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas. More information on the conference will be coming soon.
