The trade show season continues: The Illinois Association of Groundwater Professionals' annual meeting and expo took place Feb. 8-9, 2006, in northern Illinois.
The Illinois Association of Groundwater Professionals' (IAGP) annual meeting and expo took place Feb. 8-9, 2006, in northern Illinois. For the first time, Crystal Lake, Ill., played host to the annual event, and the new venue was very well received. Attendees came from far and wide: The show drew contractors from around the state as well as its bordering neighbors, including Wisconsin and Kentucky, and even from as far away as Arizona. With 150 registered attendees and a 10-year record-high of 43 exhibitors, the convention was deemed a success.
The expo opened Wednesday afternoon after the annual business meeting and extended into the evening, complete with complimentary hospitality and technical tip mini-sessions; door prizes lent to the festive air. When asked about the show's highlights, executive director Sue Bohenstengel reports: “We had a great turnout for our annual business meeting, and that's always meaningful to me.”
