Chuck,

Too long a walk. You foot the air fare and I am there.!!!!!!!!

For a moment there, I was dreaming of a way to put something together in Maui but UCONN Dave brought me back to the real world. Since we've been instructed to leave this as a spot to discuss ARA improvements, I'll put the Brewer Sales Education Weekend (Austin, TX) in another spot.

This might be something similar to what David Takes had in mind (earlier in this thread).

If this event is even semi-successful, we're planning to do something similar in a couple of other cities next year.

I have this memory that a couple of years back someone in Texas attempted to put on a "learn engraving" seminar. I think it might have been IMARK but my memory files could be corrupted. I'm sure we received a flier about it but that is all I remember. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or if the seminar ever happened and was it successful for the participants?

David,
Here is the solution. ALL educational descriptions should have an "experience level" prerequisite, then let the attendees decide for themselves if they are up for that level.

Just a thought.

Chuck

David and David, ( Sounds like a law firm doesn't it?)

D. Takes, I am glad I came upon your post because I was thinking along these very lines, a seperate EDUCATIONAL show, with out the "trade floor". I think that something like that could be held ANYWHERE.... Maybe even Honolulu..... :)

Either way, I think a seperate educational weekend long ( three day even) would be great once a year, then the annual ARA International show as it is ( or as I assume it is). I also think rotating the show in the WARMER climates is a great idea.

Anyway, that's all the pocket change I have for now. (my two cents worth)
Oh yes. I get my Crystal Blast tomorrow :)
