2012 Spring Meeting Recap


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."

Bob Bender, V.P. Sales Plumbing Division
Oatey SCS

------------------------------

"Congrats on a fantastic event just accomplished in Cancun. You all did a great job of coordinating the details of a huge event. It was a pleasure to attend the show."

Dave Runkle, Operations Manager
Hubbard Pipe & Supply, Inc.

------------------------------

"Thank you for a wonderful show in Cancun, Mexico. As always, your team puts together a first class event which produces a great meeting. Thanks again for helping us all kick off early 2008 with enthusiasm and positive energy. I can't wait for the next event!"

Brett Greene, National Accounts Manager
Gerber Plumbing Fixtures, LLC

------------------------------

"Great show, folks, as always. Well executed, no detail missed!"

John Gibson, National Sales Manager - Wholesale
Danco, Inc.

-------------------------------

" . . .I wanted to let you know that I was very impressed with the meeting. This was my first year and it is obvious you have an excellent member base who are very loyal to your vendors and proud to be part of OMNI. Everything was very well organized and well run. We are glad to be part of OMNI and look forward to a great 2008."
