Whether you
have a seasonal park that is closed
for the winter or a snowbird park
gearing up for your busy
season or somewhere in between, it’s “Break Time”. The arvc Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo is just a few short weeks away and from my
experience attending most of the
conferences over the
past 35 years I have always found them to be rejuvenating.
If
you have never attended an arvc conference then read on. After a hectic season I would
find myself exhausted and feeling like I needed and deserved to take a much
needed “break.” I always found the conference was the best break I could
possibly take. It's where you can network with so many people in the same
industry, share ideas, and see new products and services being offered in the
industry. At the conference, expect to have a hard time choosing which seminars
with so many relevant topics to pick from. On top of that there are many
opportunities to have fun and socialize with old friends and make so many new
friends as well.
I
always looked at the annual conference as an investment in myself and my
business. I only had two goals for attending: 1) Get an idea to increase revenue
that I could implement, and 2) Get an idea to decrease expenses that I could
implement. My goals were simple; however I always accomplished those two goals
and so much more. I would return home highly motivated and feeling rejuvenated.
I can honestly tell you that I always, let me say that again, I always got a
return on my investment — the cost of attending the conference.
It
always grieves me when I hear someone say they can’t attend because of the
cost. If you only look at the cost then you will never be able to justify many things.
If you put it in proper perspective and view it as an investment in you and
your business you will see a return on that investment. If you’ve always wanted
to attend an arvc conference
but never have, then maybe it’s time you make the investment! It’s the best “break”
you’ll ever take. For all of you planning on attending the OHCE in Las Vegas, I’ll
see you in a few weeks.
