The bite of chilly weather hasn't yet snapped southern Maine, but that doesn't mean I don't welcome the opportunity to go 500 miles south for 48 hours, where stronger vestiges of summer remain. Tomorrow morning I'm off to Maryland with Tim Purpura, SSN's publisher, to attend the Dynamark Convention 2013 in Hagerstown, Md.
The event kicks off in earnest with a vendor show tomorrow evening, which will showcase products from a slew of manufacturers, with an emphasis on new and emerging technology trends. Day two opens with a joint presentation by Dynamark founder Wayne Alter and Wade Moose, owner of The Systems Depot, followed by workshops tailored to dealers, technicians, installers and sales personnel.
My Hagerstown stay will conclude with my inaugural central station tour of Dynamark's facility, which opened in 2011. I eagerly await this phase of the trip, not only because it's my personal debut in a central station, but because the descriptions I've heard of Dynamark's facility tend to be peppered with superlatives.
I plan to be active on Twitter during the vendor show and workshop sessions (https://twitter.com/SSN_Leif), and I'll also be updating my blog over the course of the next two days as events unfold, distilling the sights and sounds and key takeaways from the speakers.
For those attending, I look forward to meeting you there.
