2010 Gem Show Shuttle Routes

I want to say thank you to the Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau for posting such complete information.

Shuttles Because Gem Ride was largely funded by state money to ease transit during the I-10 Widening Project, the service is now discontinued. However, many shows will be running private shuttles.

The good news is that several of the shows have made plans for their own shuttles.

But if you have your own car there is parking available at most of the venues and several Public Parking Lots...comfy shoes and a light load and you will do well!

Catalog In Motion 2010 - This is where I will be...

OK - it looks like I will once again be spending a lot of time at the Rio Grande "Catalog In Motion"

WHY????

First - because you see all the great products that Rio sells along with, in some cases, the people that make them! Imagine getting an overview on the Hydraulic Press from Phil Poirier or Dave Reynolds - the folks that build the press!

A year ago I took the 2 day workshop with Dave you can find it on my blog at Day 1 and Day 2.

Second - the FREE Seminars - Here are just some of the highlights:

Shaping Metal With Hammers with Bill Fretz

Pavé Setting with Brad Simon

Marketing in a Changing World with Marlene Richey

Innovative Techniques with the Hydraulic Press with G. Phil Poirier

...talk about learning at the feet of masters in the field! a complete list of Seminars is available.

Third - the incredible Class Schedule - includes training in/on the following:

Hydraulic Forming Enameling
