We were very pleased with the turn out for the classes -- the increased traffic of those there for the class attracted more people to stop by the booth and see what was exciting about our products. Thanks for offering this opportunity!

Jenn-Air
Having the opportunity to offer free CEU courses in our booth at KBIS was a wonderful way for us to connect to the design community. Jenn-Air developed a new course on downdraft technology to debut at KBIS and offered it several times during the show. In addition to drawing traffic into the booth, providing a new course allowed us to give back to the industry in a meaningful way.

We were very happy with the program at KBIS this past spring and had a decent number of attendees. The informal feedback we collected was very positive. We will be participating in Chicago.
