InspectionWorld Las Vegas Was a Huge Success

Thanks to everyone who participated in InspectionWorld Las Vegas, which took place January 17-20, 2010 at Bally’s Las Vegas. Total attendance was more than 950. Nearly 70 vendors were on hand for the trade show which represented over 100 booth spaces, and 45 educational sessions offered a wide variety of home inspection topics.

Before the start of the conference, the ASHI Council of Representatives (CoR) and the ASHI Board of Directors held their separate regularly scheduled full-day meetings.

Also prior to the educational programming of the conference, three pre-conference courses were offered – the New Inspector Career Day, the Healthy Homes Specialist Course and the Home Energy Professional Certification Course. A combined total of 65 individuals attended these courses.

InspectionWorld officially commenced with the 12:00 noon ribbon-cutting ceremony that opened the Expo Hall. Exhibits were open into the evening and concluded with the Opening Reception.

The 45 education sessions were grouped into 5 concurrent tracks – Inspection Essentials, Advanced Learning, Specialty, Diversification and Business Management. All registrants had the opportunity to select courses that would meet their individual state licensing requirements for CE credits. In addition, all ASHI full conference and conference education registrants earned 20 ASHI CE credits.

The 2010 ASHI officers and board were officially sworn in during the Annual Business Meeting. Annual awards were given at the business meeting and also at the President’s Gala, which capped the social activities of the conference.

On the first day of sessions, the day began with a keynote speech offered by two representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Planning will soon begin for the next annual conference – InspectionWorld Atlanta, January 25-28, 2011 at the Atlanta Hilton.
