Greetings NAMA Friends and Colleagues:

As we cross the threshold into a new year, I can't help but observe a heightened degree of energy in our industry right now. It's an energy that comes from renewed optimism, smart decision making and hard work. And, my hope is that, while it's still a few months away, the NAMA OneShowSM will reflect that positive energy we're all feeling.

I know we'll see it in all the innovations that the OneShow previews. Frankly, I don't know how anyone in our industry keeps up with the new technologies, equipment and products if they DON'T attend the OneShow. Because innovation is happening so fast in our industry, it's easy to fall behind if you're not there.

Personally, I love the OneShow because it allows me to catch up with so many friends and colleagues in our industry. It's just a fantastic networking opportunity, and let's face it, phone calls and emails just don't cut it as meaningful relationship builders. Face-to-face interaction is the very best way to nail a sale or get the next order.

From what I've heard, NAMA has great things in store for all of us at the OneShow (April 25-27, in Las Vegas). There's no question that I'll be there, and I intend to bring a team of people from my organization as well.

Visit www.NAMAOneShow.org today to register for the industry's #1 trade event. Don't delay it a minute longer, and I'll see you there!

Best regards,

Dennis Hogan

CEO, Canteen Vending Services
