IGA Relocates Independents Days and Spring Auto Glass Show for 2009
Dec 16, 2008
The Independent Glass Association (IGA) will hold its annual Independents’ Days Conference and Spring Auto Glass Show May 12-14 at the Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa in Fort Myers, Florida. This 5-star luxury resort offers many amenities in an upscale setting. Hotel room rates are $124 per night plus a $15 resort fee that includes use of the fitness club, beach club, free telephone calls and free Internet service from the guest rooms.
“Now is the ideal time to keep our members well-informed and head of the curve with current economic changes,” said Dave Zoldowski, IGA president. “Our educational line-up of informational sessions, along with the pertinent networking and business opportunities makes this year’s event more vital than ever for auto glass owners and managers to attend.”
Fort Myers, Florida was selected as the location for this year’s venue to compliment the IGA Marketing Conference held in Las Vegas each fall. This provides a local educational event for both coasts to accommodate the nation-wide membership.
Registration is open now and booth applications are currently being accepted. According to Zoldowski, who has personally stayed at the Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, “I believe it better fits our needs. It's a great place to bring the family and enjoy the many amenities included with your room,” he added.
“We are looking forward to having a great event for the auto glass industry, complete with an extensive trade show, industry expert speakers, and an agenda to provide our members the tools they need to succeed in today’s ever-changing market,” said Patrick Smith, director of operations for the IGA.
The trade show floor will be open May 13 and 14 for auto glass suppliers to meet with attendees. Exhibit space is now available through the IGA.
