LAS VEGAS — When the National Concrete Burial Vault Association holds its annual convention Feb. 2-4,2010, its attendees will be able to experience the best of two worlds because the NCBVA Convention will be held in conjunction with the World of Concrete, according to a news release. Concrete burial vault manufacturers will be able to meet with their peers at the NCBVA Convention, participate in a program designed just for the burial vault industry and attend the WOC Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center at no charge.
The NCBVA Convention centers on a unique “partnership plaza” concept. A program of speakers, displays by suppliers to the burial vault industry, and breakfast-and-lunch food functions will be held in one large meeting space in the world-class Bellagio Hotel. The Partnership Plaza concept provides opportunitird for networking among members. After each day of the 2010 NCBVA program concludes, registrants will have time to participate in the World of Concrete and get new ideas for the concrete side of their businesses.
The NCBVA seminar program features two two-hour educational seminars. Janelle Barlow, PhD, author of Branded Customer Service, will discuss “Brand Selling—All Burial Vaults are Not the Same.” Maureen O’Brien, CEO and Founder of O'Brien & Son, Inc., will confront the controversial subject of green burials in her seminar, “Is It Time to Fight Back or Time to Cut and Run?”
The NCBVA Convention will conclude with a Viva Las Vegas party (with some surprise guests) and installation dinner at the Stratosphere Hotel.
