Attendees heard valuable vendor presentations from Sherwin Williams, Apollo and Milwaukee Tools. Tech demonstrations followed with expert sessions from SATA, Apollo, Cintas and Milwaukee Tools, giving our franchisees a closer look at the tools and techniques driving our work forward.

One of the convention’s most memorable moments came during the National Awards presentation, where we recognized the outstanding performance of franchisees who go above and beyond. These moments of recognition reminded everyone why we do what we do—building businesses, supporting families and taking pride in quality work.

The event wrapped up in style at 810 Entertainment, where attendees bowled, shared a meal and enjoyed live music performed by a few of our own talented franchisees. It was the perfect way to end a successful week, bringing together our national network in celebration of hard work and shared values.
