Green green and more green! Everywhere you turned at the Walt Disney Dolphin Hotel was covered in that familiar green and orange SERVPRO colors. With about 90% of the hotel booked for the Annual SERVPRO convention, you couldn't turn anywhere without seeing at least a group of friendly faces sporting that SERVPRO logo. Owners Matt and Lisa True, Office manager Kim Miller, and myself Marketing rep Alicia Girard attended the 49th Annual SERVPRO convention this past week June 25th - June 29th and attended several workshops and exciting general sessions.

This was my personal first time attending convention, and it was not at all what I expected! I was prepared with my notebook and ready for long sessions of detailed note taking, but when the stage was taken over by light shows, loud music, and dancing, I knew I was in for a whole new experience. SERVPRO had an amazing way of educating about new technology coming up, while keeping things light and exciting. The workshops were focused on smaller groups that allowed for personal conversations and in depth details shared between franchises of strategies that worked and ones that didn't. It was a great opportunity to meet with other members of the SERVPRO family, and to see all the great way SERVPRO is helping all around the country.

While this was my first convention, it will definitely not be my last! I had such a blast getting to know everyone and learning more about the SERVPRO brand and values, and it made me appreciate being a part of such an amazing company.
