I’ve got a great recap of last weeks Elevator U Conference in Quincy, IL! We had a great time and I’d like to thank everyone who attended. Special thanks to the presenters as well as those who sponsored, exhibited and attended the educational sessions. To give you an idea of how much of an action packed week it was, I was only able to check e-mails the night before the conference started. In addition to two weeks worth of new that’s on the show today, three tragic accidents occurred two of which involved children. This is the very reason why it is so important as an industry member to support the EESF. Also we’re giving away our June Prize pack giveaway which includes great giveaways from some excellent companies and industry groups out there. So let’s get ready to rumble! On your mark, get set……go!
Thanks to the following companies who have donated goodies. Fujitec America, GAL, The National Association of Elevator Contractors, The National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities, The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, COMPANY SRL, Peelle, C.J. Anderson, Truxes, EMS Group, Elevator Bob’s Elevator Pictures, Minnesota Elevator, Inc, ElevatorGear.com & The ElevatorShack.com, ElevatorU.org

Ever have a week where you had a million things to do and knew that there just weren’t enough hours in the day? This always happens when I’m covering for people at work. When my coworkers are on vacation I truly realize just how valuable they are. Well this week I was trying to bring you an interview but technical difficulties brought that to a halt, so a regular new packed show today. Next week is the Elevator U Conference in Quincy, IL and it’s going to be great! I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at that event. Because it will be very busy next week in Quincy there most likely won’t be a show. If something should change from that plan you’ll be the first to know. As always, thanks for tuning in today!
