MATRA Tent Renters Spring Training A Home Run!

Yesterday Commonwealth Event Company hosted the 2011 MATRA Tent Renters' Spring Training, and what a success it was!  Topics covered included: Truck Leasing, Insurance, Employee Handbooks, and Inventory Management.  There were also roundtable discussions covering: Upselling, Social Media, Delivery Costs, Permits, and Utility Marking.  There was amazing turnout of both vendors and members alike, with everyone leaving a little more educated about the topics.  

Commonwealth was glad to host this event and we hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.  

Here are some highlights of yesterdays show.
