2016 “BestShowEver”
FOXWOODS 2016 INDEED WAS A STELLAR EVENT fea- turing many firsts. Among these was the first ever “NECO kickoff event” on Sunday in the Foxwoods Theatre featuring both vendor speakers as well as guest presenters. The emphasis this year was train- ing and education. The featured speaker was Jason Dorsey, who gave a spirited and informative presentation on getting ready for the next generation – the Millennials (see feature article on Jason Dorsey on page 22)
Also a first for the show were many new vendors that made their first appearance at the annual fall show including: bedding, furniture, and finance, among others. The aim was to showcase opportunities beyond the conventional TV/Appliance model many in the group currently employ. The Expo show floor was loaded with many new displays and fresh faces excited to talk to members about their prod- ucts and services. NECO TV made its debut at the show and has got- ten widespread support and rave reviews since launching at the show. (see feature article on NECO TV on page 40)
