Measuring the 2011 Louisville Manufactured Housing Show’s Success

Louisville Manufactured Housing Show 2011Snow at various airports and roadways did not keep 970 attendees from coming to the Louisville Manufactured Housing Show this past Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  In fact, at least two more people reportedly arrived after the registration booth had closed Friday, there specifically to see homes.  Reports indicated that factories wrote orders; exhibitors and attendees were generally upbeat.  For a show that was deemed ‘forever dead’ last year, the historic Louisville show made history again by proving that it was very much alive and well.

L.A. 'Tony' Kovach, Ken Rishel and George Allen the Manufactured Housing Publishers Consortium. Each is independent, but dedicated to serving the Interests of the factory built housing industry.

Months before the Show, Dennis Hill shared with me that if 850-900 attendees arrived, it would be a good show.  Dennis was very realistic by stating to me or others that “we have to crawl, walk and then run” as far as show size and other measures for success are concerned.  That said, clearly the show was a success in many ways.

For those who have been involved in putting on a major event, it is not easy to capture the myriad of details that go into producing a show such as Louisville.  Signing up and organizing the exhibitors, manufacturers, the show space, hotels, staffing, logistics, insurance and promotion; the list goes on and on!  Naturally every exhibitor expends time and money; there is a collective effort.  That is part of the amazing dynamic of a show.  Each of those exhibitors requires numerous details.  Speakers and presenters all have their own preparations; and all of that had to be coordinated with show staff, too.  I share this to underscore the tremendous effort and skill that Dennis Hill, his delightful Showways Unlimited staff, Ron Thomas Sr. and the entire MMHF leadership and show committee has to do in order to have this fine an event.

Against that backdrop, hats off! Let’s give Dennis Hill, Show Ways, Ron Thomas Sr. and the MMHF and Louisville Show committee their just recognition!  Fantastic effort, and as this and other reports yet to come here will reveal, the big effort was well worth it!
