You won't want to miss his positive discussion on leadership and teamwork..."Rewind, Review, and Replay." “In today’s market so much happens ‘digitally’ that it is easy to forget the importance of face-to-face contact with customers. The 2016 Show helped us strengthen existing relationships and build new ones. The IDAExpo has been central to our growth over the years.” – Doug Kidd, CEO All three well describe the value of attending the IDAExpo. The educational programming produced each year by the Institute of Door Dealer Education and Accreditation (IDEA) continues to set an educational benchmark in our industry. The exhibits provide attendees an opportunity to discover what’s new, and to actually see and touch new products. In addition, visiting with product provider personnel face-to-face is truly invaluable.

And, of course, such events as the Golf Outing, Motorcycle Ride and President’s Awards Banquet are very exciting to enjoy. The rules are simple and easy: Take a selfie on the job site, with your truck, or with your co-workers. Selfie must be horizontal, not vertical Enter as often as you like.

IDAExpo 2018 - Las Vegas, Nevada Host Hotel: Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino Location: Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) Show Dates: April 27-28, 2018 “IDAExpo 2016 was a rousing success for ABC Docks, LLC and the ‘Aaron-Bradley™’ product line.  We stayed busy the entire time, meeting with existing dealers and qualifying potential new ones.  And, we were busy for nearly an hour after the show closed on Saturday.  In my 15 years with the company and exhibiting at each of the Expos, I would rank this as one of the very best, if not the best in which we’ve participated. 

Hats off to all the staff and to the organizing committee for a job extremely well done.  I’m looking forward to Atlanta in 2017." – Bill Reitmeyer, Operations Manager Clopay® Avante™ Collection Garage Doors Featured on the New American Home at the 2015 International Builders’ Show For the second year in a row, Clopay’s contemporary Avante Collection aluminum and glass garage doors are featured on The New American Home (TNAH), which will be open for tours during the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, January 20 – 22, 2015. The New American Home is built to showcase the latest technology in the home building industry. “The Avante garage doors set the stage for the home’s open concept design, which takes full advantage of the stunning views of the desert and the Las Vegas skyline,” says Pat Lohse, Clopay’s vice president of marketing. “The most striking feature of the Avante doors is the etched glass design, which controls the amount of natural light that filters through while maintaining privacy.
