This is my first post on NACHI. I am starting out a new inspection service with my brother and we want to hgo to this NACHI convention or the ASHI convention in January. I’m trying to decide on which one to go to, we live closer to the ASHI location but can fly cheaper to Orlando.
I have been visiting the NACHI site for several months and the convention site has been saying it will give a update for several months. I would like to see what the convention is going to offer in the way of speakers and people who sell things to home inspectors. I am just try to make a good business decision, as this is the first convention for NACHI I don't know what to expect.
I need to make reservations soon to get the best rates so please help me. I am sure that I am not alone and that others might be wondering also.

Preston, the NACHI Convention site should be updated by the end of this week with a PARTIAL list of the Education Offerings as well as the Vendor offerings.
If you would like to contact our Education Director at education@nachi.org and contact our vendor coordinator Paul Sabados then they will be happy to keep you informed. The amount of education you get will be unsurpassed.

Preston,
You will be able to see a list of the speakers today for some of the classes. Also most of the Airlines I have spoken with have told me that they will have their best rates until around the middle of December. And the hotel is the same price until the convention.

FYI
The big "A" group hasn't set up a thing yet over at their web-site.
Being this is our first go at this, we felt the need to bring this in front of those that use the BB. We're releasing info as it is returned to us. Keep watching and more will be added as it comes in. Sorry I cant offer you the final vendor list yet, but most of the Vendors don't make their commitments until the fall months. Those that wait the longest usually get the back booths.
Most sites don't release until 3-4 months out from the time of event or when everything is in place.

I am only posting this to answer questions.
Historically the information for the ASHI conference does not go live until Labor Day weekend. On August 16th InspectionWorld http://www.inspectionworld.com will have information about the 41 education sessions along with vendor listings/map layout. The remaining details (housing information/registration, IW registration and networking/social events) will be listed On September 3rd.
Every home inspector is invited to this event regardless of your affiliation. I hope that the NACHI convention is great and that you hold it year after year. The key to our profession is education.
Sorry to post this on y’alls site but I felt that the correct information needed to get out.

Oh well, we know you guys have 20 years of convention experience behind you, but, that's not a deterrence. The goal is continued education for all, vendor participation for membership benefits and comradery for the membership, and of course a little bit of Ol Fashion Fun! Right?

ps Hopefully in the not to distant future we plan to take that Worlds Largest Convention Title away from you.
