On October 27th and 28th, 2021 the Window Works Crew traveled to the Facilities Expo Conference in Santa Clara. Here are some highlights! We had an amazing time at this live event and thought we’d share a few photos.
By the way, we’ve been to the Facilities Expo before, but that was in the Before Times! Anyway, if you want to travel in the Wayback Machine, here’s the article: Window Works at the Northern California Facilities Expo 2019. We also did the virtual event in 2020, and you can read about it here: Visit the Virtual California Facilities Expo 2020 November 18-19.
Setting up the Booth
The set up took a few minutes (and a few hours of planning), but we were up to the challenge, since everyone pitched in to help! You wouldn’t even believe how much of this booth would fit into one cart! And that’s lucky because the Santa Clara Conference Center is huge and there’s a lot of walking to do.
Behind the Scenes
There was a lot of joking around, talking and exchanging information behind the scenes. Also, lots of taking pictures and interviews. Since there haven’t been a lot of in-person conferences, this one was a welcome relief to meet and talk face-to-face.
During the Show
Yes, we got a lot of questions about window film (particularly 3M window film!) during the show. Luckily, we are all well-versed in 3M window film. And we often said “did you know that window film could do this?” Or “this isn’t your grandma’s window film!” A lot of people have outdated ideas about window film based on seeing someone’s DIY job on their car (purple, fading, peeling and just plain ugh!).
Happy Hour Hosting
After extensive research, we discovered that many people love beer! So guess what?! We sponsored the Happy Hour beer and snack cart and that made a lot of people verrrrrrrry happy! And that made us happy, too! We hope that next time, you’ll be able to join us.
