Back home from ICRBE

Just got back from an incredible weekend at ICRBE exhibiting, participating and learning with fellow rod builders.

The crowd was great all weekend and there was a buzz on the floor the whole time.

If you didn’t make it you missed an incredible learning opportunity between the general seminars and the new Learning Center. The general seminars were great as always and the. The Learning Center with its hands on approach brought a whole new level of learning to the show.

A HUGE thanks to David Boyle for making it happen - untold hours behind the scenes and he was deep into his own pocket for no direct return to bring this FREE, HANDS ON learning opportunity to show attendees. Thanks to the sponsors who provided product and/or assisted in some funding for the event - to the speakers and The NERBS who assisted with one on one learning and thanks to all that attended the sessions to make it a success.

Such a hand on learning opportunity creates a win/win/win for the show, the exhibitors and attendees. If you did get a chance to attend, make sure to provide David with your feedback on how it can improve next year - and let Tom know the value it brought the show. Also be sure to thank, or even better support through your purchases, the sponsors of the event.

I look forward to seeing what the future holds for ICRBE and the learning opps there!

Michael,

Who was the individual you had helping you show the sawtooth wrap? I wanted to see if I could find some videos by them. I was trying use the wrapper but it was quite different then mine so missed some of what she was showing.

Thanks

Stan.
