Ready??? The 2020 Nashville meeting is set and promises to be another chapter in the growth of our organization! The purpose of the Ice House Owners Association is to encourage owners to meet/communicate with other owners, dispense information, and provide a common avenue for any owner to ask others “How did you do that”. We have a Board of Directors that, (in addition to being long-time ice house owners) are genuinely committed to helping other owners. Ice House America manufactures, hands down, the best ice machine on the market today, and although not all of us are whizzes at electronics, mechanical devices, or even the financial pitfalls of being self-employed, we CANlearn a lot from our fellow owners. The meeting will be held in Nashville, TN on February 21-23, 2020, at the brand new Drury Plaza Hotel in downtown Nashville. We will kick off the weekend beginning at 4:30 on Friday afternoon with vendor exhibits, owner networking, and door prizes. There will be a lot of vendors present to show you different ways to enhance ice house ownership, a social hour to facilitate networking with other attendees, and valuable door prizes for those who are in attendance. For those staying at the Drury, there will be heavy hors d’oeuvres and complimentary drinks provided as well. The best part of being in downtown Nashville is there are literally dozens of great places to eat after we break on Friday night.
Saturday morning, (after a complimentary breakfast for those staying at the Drury), we will get down to business! It will be a full day of information in a class-room setting, along with a question-and-answer period from a panel of very knowledgeable owners themselves. Troy Doom, the President of Ice House America (a generous sponsor of this event) will be attending and addressing the group, as well. Do yourself a favor and make plans to attend this particular weekend meeting. It will be money and time well-spent.
