We will be sending out a brief survey asking for your preference on when you would like future (starting in 2025) to be held. Traditionally, the SprayFoam Convention and Expo has been in January, February or very early March. During a recent discussion by the Board of Directors, we were asked to survey our membership and see if there is interest in meeting in different times of the year. One suggestion was to meet in December so contractors could make their year-end purchases. Another suggestion was early November. Those with school-aged children have suggested meet when there is spring break (although this varies widely). We want to hear from YOU! So please respond to the survey, which will be sent next week. Any questions or comments, please email Kelly Marcavage, kmarcavage@sprayfoam.org.
