I recently returned from OSP Expo in San Antonio where I was struck by the show’s vibrancy and energy.  After watching trade shows across all disciplines shrink or disappear completely these past two years, it was reassuring to be an exhibitor at an event with lots of quality vendors, the right attendees and solid educational speakers.  With all the right pieces in place, this show pulsed with energy, excitement and enthusiasm.

What went right? 

Maybe it was the happy marriage of pent-up demand and stimulus money that drew telecom attendees to more than 60 service providers and 200 telecom exhibitors.  Whatever the reason, this buzz was good for business. 

From my company’s viewpoint, our innovative JoistMate™ Attic Safety Platform definitely generated some buzz in the safety community.  Given the number of technicians and contractors who attend this show, our practical safety product hit the bull’s eye.  Please go to the JoistMate webpage to learn more.

The main reason William Frick exhibits at shows like OSP Expo is to speak directly with end users.  You tell us which products you like, which you don’t, and if there’s something you wish we had, like the JoistMate.  You speak.  We listen.  After all, our business is largely about your safety.

Finally, I want to thank all of you who submitted your names for the FlipCam drawing.  The winner was Debbie Armstrong, Installation and Repair Supervisor for Yadkin Valley Telecom in Yadkinville, NC.  Congratulations, Debbie!
