We, at Board Retailers Association, strongly encourage you to attend this massively important trade show. The new product ideas and business strategies that can be identified at the various educational seminars, networking forums, exhibitors booths and special events can make the difference between a normal or down season and a significant up season for your shop and enable you to recharge your battery and motivation. If you have never attended or it has been a while since you attended the show, be sure to email doug@boardretailers.com to inquire about possibly receiving free lodging at the upcoming January Show. – Doug Works, Executive Director of BRA
