 KEEP UP WITH PMANC

Dear PMANC members: 

I’m reaching out with a quick recap of our Promo Madness Show that took place in March at the Alameda county fairgrounds in Pleasanton. We are reaching out for feedback and how we can enhance the experience next year.  Thus far, the overall consensus is that the location was great. Lots of space inside the building and parking was easy for exhibitors and attendees. We had over 70 exhibitors and around 200 distributor attendees. The post show party included people playing corn hole and enjoying appetizers and green beers for St. Patrick’s Day. Congratulations to Marco Indrio, with supplier Alpi, for winning the Raycon Party Box speaker with the top score in the March Madness bracket. 

We’re looking forward to returning to the Wente winery for our Fall show on September 21 later this year. 


Mark Fulwider,

PMANC 2022 President & Tradeshow Chair
