FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS
The annual Omni Spring Meeting always generates rave reviews from both Members and Vendors. Here are a few examples of what they said about our previous meetings:
-----------------------------
"Congratulations!!! The OMNI meeting in Miami was fantastic…
I just wanted to THANK all of you for your hard work in planning this event, this was by far the best meeting event we‘ve been involved with. We look forward to you topping this next year ...
Tim Bowler - Vice President
Wheeler Manufacturing
------------------------------
"A truckload order of our product is a lot. A truckload order in today’s environment is really a lot. But, the most important aspect of this scenario is that we have now brought the business into Omni from outside. That’s a Grand Slam. I could build a pretty good case to prove that that one table top meeting alone made the Spring Meeting worthwhile.
The Omni Partnership – it’s a good thing."
Rick Hanger, Director of Sales - Plumbing & Commercial
Plastic Trends, Inc.
------------------------------
"Once again you all did a beautiful job with the Spring Meeting. . . .Thank you all for helping us drive new business and maximize relations."
