This year’s NFDA Convention in New Orleans, held from October 20-23, exceeded all expectations. With an impressive turnout surpassing previous years, there was infectious energy on the event floor each day.
Our mini hot sauce giveaway brought a spicy dish of local flavor to the booth. This fun addition paired perfectly with the neighboring Trigard-sponsored Fiesta Margarita & Snack Bar, which quickly became a favorite stop for many convention-goers to mix and mingle.
Our Healing Tree® burial vault display captivated visitors once again, providing our team many opportunities to share how its interactive features can be thoughtfully incorporated into the graveside ceremony. Demonstrations of the Trigard Connect burial vault builder also sparked engaging discussions surrounding how it enhances the product presentation for families while simplifying the ordering process for funeral homes.
A yearly highlight is reconnecting with our network of burial vault dealers and building relationships with like-minded industry leaders. The networking and exchanges on the convention floor carried on to the evening events, including the after-hours party we co-hosted at the historic Grand Oaks Mansion. The evening delivered a vintage-inspired NOLA experience that captured the spirit of partnership that sets our industry apart.
Excitement ran high for our grand prize drawing, and we’re pleased to announce Rodney McFarland as the winner of the Blackstone On-The-Go Tabletop Griddle!
We are looking forward to building on the momentum from this convention as we begin to prepare for next year!
