16th Annual NRCC Biggest, Best Ever!!!
This year's Northeast Regional Carwash Convention (NRCC), October 17-19 at the Borgata Hotel Spa & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ, packed a major punch with attendees as well as vendors, according to New York State Car Wash Association (NYSCWA) President Dennis O'Shaughnessy. His association, this year's host, developed a diverse array of educational programs and the largest trade show floor in the event's history with more than 200 exhibitors. "It was hard to surpass the success of last year's show," said O'Shaughnessy, "but we did it! From our insightful and electric keynote, JoAnna Brandi on customer care, to an equipment placement and tunnel layout program featuring industry veteran Anthony Analetto of Sonny's Enterprises, comprehensive Early Bird sessions and our extensive new investor's seminar, we tried to compile a diverse lineup with a little something for everyone," he said. "We also put on a terrific opening event in Ombra's wine cellar that provided attendees the opportunity to mix and mingle while enjoying outstanding food thanks to our event sponsor ICS."
Nearly 1700 attendees packed the show floor with more than 200 exhibitors eagerly awaiting the opportunity to showcase their products and services. A real winner on the show floor was the Sonny's booth, which took home the NRCC's Best Exhibitor Display for its innovative design.
Innovators Shine During Awards
The NRCC also awarded two "Innovator" awards and a "Front Line" award instead of its traditional "NRCC Most Distinguished Person" award during its award's program. "We really felt that there are some individuals within our association who would be best noted in these formats," said O'Shaughnessy, "so we created some new awards this year."
Don Scordo of Washing Equipment Technologies in Rochester, NY, and Tom Hoffman, Jr. of Hoffman Carwashes in Albany, NY, received the Innovator awards. Washing Equipment Technologies' Dan Frank received the group's first Front Line award.
In addition, ICA President Jack Anthony from 7 Flags Car Wash in Vallejo, CA, updated the group on the association's efforts and programs for the upcoming year. He also provided an entertaining slide show of memorable advertisements depicting professional carwashing.
