There are literally hundreds of memories from our 2024 World Show which makes it extremely difficult to start this review. Friends and colleagues from all over the USA and world were there, and it was great to see each of them. We meet so many new friends that we have communicated with, but never the opportunity to meet in person. It will forever be Kathy’s and my most memorable show. Not only because of this camaraderie or the fact it will be the last show that we produce, but also because it was the best and biggest show in so many ways, and that is saying a lot because there have been a lot of great ones. This show broke all of our previous shows records. This show had 709 entries (the most ever) and they were sensational! We had the largest attendance with 1,816 registrations, 790 attending the Friday night awards presentation, and over 1,600 room-nights filled at our host hotel, the Hyatt Regency Coralville, and three adjacent hotels. As we had hoped and expected, the Hyatt Regency and Conference Center exceeded our expectations and the same can be said for the adjacent hotels and business community. Throughout the show, we were constantly told, “We love this facility, the hotel, and the area!”
