Our annual tradeshow is coming up Oct 6 and 7 (Mon and Tues). It will be at our Roanoke warehouse. This is a great opportunity to visit with other rink owners, see new products, meet some of our vendors in person, and tour our facility. We often think of it as an unofficial kickoff to the busy skating rink season.
The show starts at 2pm on Monday afternoon. We will have a free catered dinner in our warehouse on Monday evening. After that, youβll go to the Skate Center for a time of socializing, skating, and round table discussions with other rink owners and managers.
If youβre able to join us, please RSVPβas soon as possible so we can get an accurate head count for the caterers. Make your hotel reservation by Sept 5 to secure the group rate on rooms at the Courtyard Marriott. You can call them at 540-563-5002 and mention the Southeastern Skate room block. Or click here for a link to book online.Β After the September 5 date the hotel will be releasing the room block and we canβt make any guarantees that there will be space at the host hotel.
