The floor had over 350 exhibitors, a great turnout for nail competitions, and lots of new and eager educators ready to show off the industry’s latest and greatest products. There were excellent educational classes as well ranging from business-minded matters to the gritty details of e-filing, and everything else a tech could want. Be sure to save the date for next year, June 9-11, 2012.
