 The PRO Industry Discussion & Long-Range Planning Meeting will focus on addressing both the challenges and opportunities in the accessory and appearance segments of the specialty-equipment industry. | |
The Professional Restylers Organization (PRO) is gearing up for its Industry Discussion & Long-Range Planning Meeting. This year, it will take place June 13–14, 2013, at the Detroit Metro Airport Marriott. Members are invited to join us for a 3M site visit, future trends happy hour discussion and many networking opportunities.
The event will feature a future trends happy hour discussion in which restyling experts will join such industry-leading manufacturers as 3M, Echomaster, Kicker and Rosen Entertainment to share their insights about product development opportunities and how to best increase business efficiencies—all in the casual environment of a pub setting. On Friday, PRO leadership will lead important break-out sessions targeted at addressing both the challenges and opportunities in the accessory and appearance segments of the specialty-equipment industry.
We hope you’ll join us for this exciting event. Be sure to send your RSVP by Monday, May 27, 2013. If you would like to be included in the PRO room block at $129 per night, let us know and we’ll reserve your rooms. Feel free to bring a guest who may be interested in learning more about what PRO has to offer.
