It was great to see so many of you at the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International during the past week at the Kentucky Exposition Center. I had a great time networking with Pumpers from around the world … and those of you who I had the good fortune to visit with said you had a great and productive time in Louisville.

One highlight for me was the roundtable discussions during the Saturday morning pancake breakfast. I learned so many things about the industry and your small businesses, and many contractors who attended said they got a lot of valuable advice from the networking opportunity.

There were many new products on display at the Expo, from trucks to tools and accessories for the industry. Look for a review of new products we found on the Expo floor in the April issue of Pumper. If you were in Louisville, the Expo Roundup story will provide a good refresher and tell you about products you might have missed from the 500 exhibitors at the show. If you weren’t at the Expo, we’ll bring you up to date with industry innovations on display on the show floor.

After we closed the book on the Louisville show, I’m already looking forward to the 2012 Expo set for Indianapolis Feb 27-March 1. Do you have any thoughts on the show in Louisville or next year’s move to Indy? If so, drop me an e-mail at editor@pumper.com.
