The Buzz from Vision10

The team at Grace McNamara Inc, producers of Vision10 and WF Vision Magazine, would like to extend a big thank you to all the attendees, exhibitors, designers, students, speakers, and sponsors for coming together as an industry at Vision10 this year in Atlanta, GA. We look forward to seeing you next year in Tampa FL for Vision11.

Vision 10 IWCE was great...classes, showroom, energy & meeting old friend and making new ones. So disappointing, as both you & Carol said, not to see the big name vendors there. Will they die like Artmark Fabrics did because they are letting us forget they exist?

"We at Orion thought the show was super -- lots of good traffic all three days. We introduced 2 new VERY COOL products: Clip-A-Crown - a metal valance for blinds to enhance the look, and SleekFascia--iron traversing system with rings, which can also be motorized. And, I can add that we won WCMA awards for both! I think it was one of the best shows we've had. Grace is certainly to be commended for all her hard work in keeping this show going."

"What a GREAT time we had at IWCE! Grace put on an exceptional event!"

Gather a bunch of creative people at a creative event called a "tweet up" - add wine - brilliant! A very fun and creative end to a great day on the EXPO floor.

"What a show! The Buzz is out; this was the best show in years. Great energy, people, new people and lots of interest all around. Attendees stayed for at least 2 to 3 days, because there was something going on all the time to hold their attention."

"Attending the Expo is like being able to attend our industry's family reunion, it so Energizing and meaningful!"

"It was great being at the Expo. Grace McNamara is doing a real service to the industry. The Roellchen family found their first visit a huge benefit, as will all large and small business owners."

"I had a wonderful time at the show this week. What is important to me is not the size of the show, but the fact that I had over 100 quality conversations with customers old and new. That is why I go. To get out from behind my desk and spend time with customers. Keep up the good work and I will see you next year. http://www.awardfabrics.com/"

"Thank you for everything Grace! We had a great show, much more action than we had expected, and our suppliers are very happy. Hope to see you again next year for another great Vision IWCE! "

-Travis Storch-

"Loved seeing many familiar faces and connecting with new attendees & vendors. DraperyPro will continue to help Vision10 strengthen our industry. Looking forward to Tampa next year!"
