The IDAExpo (Las Vegas, April 23-26, 2014) is always a hotbed of activity for the US Door Industry – there’s the Motorcycle Ride, the Golf Tournament, the educational seminars and the keynote speakers, the two-day technician training schools, the Train-the-Trainer and certification and accreditation testing opportunities, the President’s Awards Banquet and – of course – the exhibit hall.

The IDA staff relocates from West Milton, Ohio once a year to wherever
the IDAExpo is – this year Las Vegas – and sets up operation at the
registration counters and inside the exhibit hall. The IDA booth is
always an oasis for tired feet with its plush carpeting, ample seating,
and the friendly faces of IDA and IDEA directors, affiliate organization
leaders, and IDA and IDEA staff to help you.
You can download a 12 page Expo brochure here (13mb).
There’s also a lot of activity going on in the booth – association videos continuously looping, a slide show featuring attendees enjoying themselves at the various IDAExpo events, the Scholarship Foundation raffle for airline tickets and future IDAExpo registrations and iPads and tablets, the door prize of a handy Craftsman toolbox and other items donated by manufacturers, IDA-endorsed vendors with member-only information regarding Dealer- FIT, IDAssurance™, and Electronic Data Payment Systems. And, along with all these activities, there’s also a dedicated quiet spot in the booth featuring a Memorial Wall to recognize industry professionals who have passed away since the 2013 IDAExpo.

On Saturday afternoon there will be a special presentation in the exhibit hall lunch area by John Zoller and David and John Bowen on the detailed findings of the annual Dealer-FIT survey. This presentation is open to both members and non members who would like to get more information on this annual ‘cost of doing business’ survey.
For many attendees, the IDAExpo is that time when they make good on their promise to join the association. Special membership deals are the order of the day, and this year is no exception. I’d love to tell you in advance what the special is this year, but I’m sworn to secrecy until IDAExpo rolls around!
Let’s just say that attendees, who join from this IDAExpo until the 20th anniversary IDAExpo in 2015, are in for a wonderful surprise!
Yes, I am talking about a membership campaign that will be ‘unleashed’ in Vegas, and it will benefit new members, existing members who recruit new members (our High Rollers), and existing members who renew their membership for multiple years in 2015.
So, stop by the IDA booth while you’re in Vegas for the phenomenal IDAExpo. All nonmembers who visit the booth will be treated to a special gift, and will have the first opportunity to sign up for membership and be part of the 20th anniversary grand prize drawing of a brand new… oops, almost unleashed it! Members will also receive a commemorative gift, as well as information about the newest, biggest membership campaign yet.
