The Coalition for Adequate School Housing (CASH) ensures there are State funds to build new, renovate, and maintain K-12 schools. The coalition is dedicated to ensuring access to quality, safe and healthy environments that foster learning and success. Our team attended their annual conference on School Facilities. This premier event and draws more than 2,000 school facility professionals from around the state. We’re thrilled to share the exciting highlights from our recent participation! The event was an incredible opportunity for us to connect with industry professionals, showcase our services, and build valuable partnerships. Here’s a recap of our amazing experience:
Educating Attendees about McGuire and Hester:
Our team was actively involved in explaining the diverse range of services we offer and highlighting our most significant and proud accomplishments in various projects. Attendees were eager to learn about our expertise, and the conference provided the perfect platform to showcase our capabilities and contributions to the industry.
Engaging with Prospective and Existing Partners:
Throughout the conference, we had the opportunity to connect with prospective partners and strengthen relationships with those we work with regularly, including our esteemed partners like Shaw and Landscape Forms. Engaging conversations and networking sessions allowed us to delve into discussions about potential collaborations and reinforce our commitment to delivering exceptional services.
Unique Branded Merchandise:
One of the standout features of our presence at the conference was the array of fun and unique branded merchandise we provided. Our booth featured eye-catching rubber duckies, squish toys, mini tape measures/levelers, golf ball marker pins, and informative brochures. The booth became a buzzworthy spot, drawing attention from attendees, and the merchandise was a hit, particularly among grandparents/parents who couldn’t resist taking some goodies home for their kids. It was delightful to hear attendees say, “I just have to take one of these for my kids!” “These are so cute!”
One of the major highlights at our booth was the striking display of the Transbay Roof Park picture. The image garnered numerous compliments and served as a visual testament to our dedication to quality work and innovative projects.
Walking the Floor and Building Connections:
In addition to our booth activities, we took the opportunity to explore the conference floor, engaging with a wide array of companies to learn more about their services and establish meaningful connections. Building a network within the industry is crucial for growth and collaboration, and our team made the most of every interaction.
As we reflect on our time at the CASH Trade Show Conference, it’s clear that our goals were met and exceeded. We not only showcased McGuire and Hester’s capabilities but also fostered connections, learned about industry trends, and left a lasting impression with our “cute” branded merchandise.
A special thank you to Bruce Daseking, Ed Aldine, Juan Toscano, and Leslie Magana, who proudly represented McGuire and Hester and contributed to making this event a success. We look forward to leveraging the opportunities that have arisen from our participation in the conference.
Here’s to continued success and growth for McGuire and Hester!
