The 18th Annual Northeast Regional Carwash Convention (NRCC), October 15-17, is returning to the Borgata in Atlantic City for what is slated to be another spectacular show, according to Dan Petrelle, this year’s co-chairperson, and the president of the Connecticut Carwash Association (CCA), the 2007 host association. “We have some exciting seminars and a world-class keynote speaker who is also doing a break-out session and an opening night event sure to please everyone,” he said.
Along those lines, the CCA has decided to bring back JoAnna Brandi, of JoAnna Brandi & Company, who keynoted the show in 2005. She is a dynamic and entertaining speaker who will present the keynote, “Dealing With The Tough Times.” In light of unpredictable weather patterns that can adversely affect your business, it’s important to have a set of business and life skills that factor in adversity. Her keynote will teach you how to:
- Plan for the tough times
- Build more resilience
- Avoid “thinking traps”
- Keep yourself and your team optimistic and
- Beat the stress that comes with tough times.
Brandi’s keynote fits perfectly into the show’s theme: NRCC ’07: The Comeback!
She will also be doing a breakout session titled “How to Face the Competitive Realities of Today’s Operating Climate Head On.” The material she presents in this session can be implemented in your daily life and work at the wash to motivate your staff.
Another great seminar this year will be titled, “How to Make Money in Challenging Times.” This panel discussion will include the expertise of East Coast operators who have come out of the last two years in the black. Learn how they did it.
An “Energy Summit” will also spotlight a variety of ways operators can save on their utility costs.
Another exciting element to this year’s show will be a return of the Welcoming Reception, October 15. Last year’s venue was inviting and intimate, and this year’s should be nothing short of spectacular. The event will take place at Luke Palladino’s restaurant Specchio, just upstairs from Ombra. The restaurant is closed to the public that evening lending itself to an intimate venue to catch up with friends and acquaintances. In addition, the well-received Early Birds will be back with a new format to appeal to new and seasoned operators alike.
