Las Vegas Frame Show Jan 2013

Simply the best show in the world :clap:

Why ? Because over 100 seminars teaching framers anything they need to know.
A very few ( including Robo ) UK framers have been and all say" Worth the investment "
Its not that expensive to book a package to Las Vegas end of January.

I was a great experience - apart from the show itself, which had 62 companies showing mouldings compared to 5 or 6 at our Spring Fair the same year, there were seminars -(I only did two) there was the Grumble Limo extravaganza, the strip/Vegas itself and a full day trip to the Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon - this one.

A week (in 2009) cost me £815 with Expedia, including return flights, Riviera Hotel, that canyon trip, a strip 'power pass' and a trip to an outlet centre. To put that in to perspective it cost not much less than that for two, from Ireland, for 2 nights in Birmingham for the Spring Fair!

VAT (Vegas Added Tax) - about £2 per framing order for a few months before the event.

Robo,

I think you should organize a Tour Group of framers from Ireland and the UK for the show next year. You get two-three dozen to attend, and sign up on your package deal, and you are golden! :clap:

For those interested, since John (Roboframer) visited, the show has moved into a nicer facility. Classes are extremely extensive, and the WCAF seminars are now complimented by the PPFA seminars and convention which happen together! :yes:

Courses and Seminars are typically not organized and posted on the websites until November - lots to organize. Many framers OD on education taking 3-4 a day for 4 days and the brain simply cannot take in this much information. I'd recommend a maximum of two per day.
