Last week was a whirlwind. Lauren (@rubbermaidtwo), Erin (@rubbermaiderin) and I (@rubbermaid) just got back from the 2010 National Association of Professional Organizers Annual Tradeshow & Convention. Rubbermaid, along with our sister company Dymo, had a booth where we displayed the latest and greatest in kitchen organization.
Our booth featured a bunch of products that help keep your kitchen cabinets & pantry organized. We had everything from Drawer Organizers and Slide Out Lid & Pan Organizers to our complete line of Easy Find Lids food storage containers and Modular Canisters.
The hit of the show however was our Pull Down Spice Rack. Nearly everyone that stopped by our booth loved it.
In addition to displaying our kitchen & cabinet organization products we had plenty of time to hang out with our professional organizer friends as well as meet some new friends. What a great bunch of people. All of the photos we took are posted on our Flickr page.
If you're interested in reading more about what went on during the show check out the #NAPO10 Twitter hashtag. You're sure to find some interesting tweets. Including a few about Rubbermaid winning the unofficial 'Best Looking Booth Staff' award.
In conclusion: A Great Show! Thanks to everyone who stopped by. We look forward to seeing you next year in sunny San Diego.
It was great seeing all of you in person after tweeting for so long! Loving my new bins & will be doing a blog post in the next few weeks about how awesome they are. On a side note – the Southwest flight crew loved the bins and are all going to buy some promptly. They crew and passengers all enjoyed the cookies that were in one of the bins as well and say thank you!
Everyone loved hanging out the Rubbermaid “kitchen” booth so much, I was beginning to think you needed to put in a coffee-maker and a kitchen table so that people would sit down and hang out as if they were in a friends’ home. Which we all were, because we love you Rubbermaid folks so much. Boy, do I want one of those pull-down spice racks. And I don’t even cook!
A coffee maker would have been great since the booth hours were so long.
Ah… so you took the cookies
It was nice being able to eat the booth when we got hungry.
Love the blog post & the replies. I agree with Liz, Julie & Jim. Good thing Liz was sitting at a table near the side of the ballroom otherwise I wouldn’t have found her and the hotel or convention staff would have gone home with the cookies & more valuable, the containers.
I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the awesome new Easy Find Lid containers I sent home with a NAPO-WDC member who drove. Love the new Premium Easy Find Lids, the sink brush holder for inside a cabinet (what’s it’s true name so I can find it online?) and the Undershelf Basket. Very cool new stuff! Thanks for bringing the Dymo folks. It was great to chat with them and see their latest products.
Julie- Maybe next year Rubbermaid will have a pull-down shelf for a coffee maker. Now that would be cool and convenient for all involved.
P.S. Congrats on winning ‘Best Looking Booth Staff’ award. You got my vote!
