Photography Contest                                    
Do you have a talent for photography and have some photos that depict life in the window-cleaning industry? If so, enter the IWCA Photography Contest. The winner of the contest will have his or her photo published on the cover of Professional Window Cleaner (PWC) magazine following the convention. The winner’s company also will be profiled in that issue to show off all of its work. The competition is open to all IWCA members, and  photos will be submitted to the IWCA’s website photo gallery for review and voting. IWCA will announce the winner at the Education Forum & Showcase.

Submissions will be accepted through Dec. 31. Voting will take place from Jan. 1 to Feb. 1. Individuals can only vote once a day. For official rules and regulations, please visit the IWCA website.

Breakfast Roundtable Discussions
One of the most valuable parts of the convention is the networking opportunities. Where else can you meet face-to-face and bounce ideas off of others who have experienced the same challenges over the years? One of the best ways to make those connections is over breakfast at one of the roundtable discussions. Start your Friday with hot coffee and discussion with your peers. Each table will have a specific topic and a moderator. Pick a topic that interests you and get ready for the ideas to flow. Build valuable connections to whom you can turn all year long as a continued resource.
