A-B Automatin Fair

[Rick Densing]

Re: Have one for me...

Maybe National Manufacturing week in Chicago???

IMHO, The automation side of Nat Man Week is rapidly circling the drain. I went last year because I was slow and it is a 2 hour drive from there. I was there from 2 hours and was done.

There is a Holiday Inn at 611 E. Wisconcon 414-273-2950 within walking distance. Lots of other great hotels in downtown Milwaukee too.

I'll keep my eye out for the badges - I jhope to see you guys there.

Then I guess an updated name tag is in order...

So far, none of those unique badges.

I assisted in two PV+ classes today... I'm going hoarse fast.

So far the niftiest things I've seen in the new GuardPLC 1600 and the 1738 ArmorPoint. I only got to spend about an hour on the show floor so far.

The CED "Hospitality Event" at the Art Museum is tonight !

Hi group,...Had a great day at the show, and then went to the CED party...let me say that those folks know how to throw a PARTY!!! If you didn't have a great time it was your fault!!! Take one new Art Museum, add about 3000 fun loving folks, wonderful food, lots of spirits,and a coooool jazz band...great time...........and hey, I got a face to face with Ken R.... he really is that nice, cool guy that we all thought that he was!!!!! .

You'all need to make your plans for the show next fall in Orlando,FL...it will be well worth the time and effort to go...and when you do go, wear onr of the tags that Eric was so kind to post...I am hoping that Phill won't mind.

Eric, you did a great job on that badge , too bad that the only printer I could get to was a b/w one . oh well, next year i'll bet that Phill will bring some BIG ,FULL COLOR ones for us to wear!!!

I saw Tom Jenkins at the Sola booth this morning. I was waiting for him to finish talking to the rep, I turned my back, and he was gone. Oops.

 

[panic mode]

I wish I could come. It's been couple of years since I saw one
They should make next one in Cleveland or Buffalo so it's driving distance.

 

[Contr_Conn]

Cleveland would be better, AB has huge representation here more than 2500 people. So I can walk there...

Sounds like a good time! In the future I'll provide something for such shows... definitely But what... badges, shirts, hats...??? I'm serious about providing something... but what's best? Perhaps it's time for a poll.

It's a great way to meet each other face-to-face instead of the 'informal internet'... plus it's good advertising to recruit a new forum member or 2 or 10 for our community as well.

Did anybody take digital pictures? Let me know and I'll post them on the site for everyone to enjoy.

Enjoy,

Go For It...

Many of us here would gladly be patrons of a PLCS.net 'gift shop' :site:

I think any 'site related' items would be big sellers (possibly exceeding book sales???)... utoh

Hats, T-shirts, coffee mugs, you name it...

Great advertisement to boot! The site already has a HUGE following, but I don't think MORE is a bad thing...

[ArikBY]

I totally agree with Eric

 

[Kevin19]

I like the coffee mug idea!

Coincidentally, our friend Bernie Carlton sent me a link earlier today regarding such merchandise. I'll definitely start investigating manufacturers of such items to see what's available. I see there is a ton of such vendors after a 2 second google search...
Perhaps a PLCs.net turkey fryer just before the holidays is a good place to start. lolis

Thank you all for the great idea! It will be a reality soon... definitely.

Enjoy,

I'd penny up for a mug and a shirt or 2.

Maybe go with a T-shirt where you could be a little wacky and a polo style shirt with a plain logo for a more refined look you could wear to the office.

Hope to see it soon!!!
