St. Louis Convention Exceeded Expectations–Don't Miss Out in 2025!

This year’s convention in St. Louis was a huge success, and I’m proud to say we kept the energy alive in the exhibit hall just like I promised. But despite our best efforts, some companies still packed up early. Here’s the thing… if you leave early, you miss out on opportunities—and this year, some folks missed out in a big way.

We held incredible giveaways throughout the event. Bo Bayliss from Onsite Technologies smoked the competition, winning the Pit Boss Pellet Grill, generously donated by Dansons USA Inc. Carla Oilar was chillin’ as she rolled away with the YETI Tundra cooler. And Jay Reese? He was seeing his future in San Antonio after winning the His and Hers Meta Smart Sunglasses. But the grand prize? Mrs. Jennifer Floyd of Frank Miller Lumber Company drove off with a 2024 Tracker 800 side-by-side, worth over $15,000.

Here’s where it gets real: Two people missed out on the $15,000 side-by-side because they left the exhibit hall early. You had to be present to win, and they weren’t. Jen Floyd, the lucky winner, isn’t complain-ing—but don’t let that be you in 2025! Stay until the very end, keep your booth up, engage with attendees, and make the most of every minute. Trust me, you won’t want to miss the opportunities and excitement we have in store next year. 

Next year, we’re going all out. More giveaways, more action, and more reasons to keep those booths up until the very end. You won’t want to miss it, and neither will your customers. Get ready for an unforgettable event, because San Antonio 2025 is going to be our biggest and best yet.
