While hundreds participated in the Wednesday evening
networking reception, sponsored by Chevron Lubricants
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was the destination for those
seeking a unique experience. Sponsored by SDMyers, the
evening featured an exclusive tour and galley talks with
docents, followed by the opportunity to browse exhibits. Each
guest also enjoyed dinner at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
and received a commemorative gift on the bus trip back.
A main highlight of Reliable Plant is the show prize giveaway,
and this year Reliable Plant celebrated its 20th installment by
giving away 20 prizes, including the grand-prize Disney World
vacation package. To be eligible for the drawings, attendees
had to fi ll out and complete a stamp card by visiting the
show-prize sponsoring companies.
On Thursday, April 18, a crowd gathered in the lunch area as
Ryan Kiker, group publisher for Noria, announced the winners
of the prizes. One by one, 19 individuals were called out to
receive prizes, which included a $100 Bass Pro Shop gift
card, a hunting blind, laser range fi nder, Apple watch, DeWalt
seven-tool combo kit and $2,000 in cash.
In the end, a lucky ballot was pulled from the hopper, and
Bobby Runions, supervisor at LaFargeHolcim, was announced
as the winner of the grand-prize Disney World vacation
package. "It's unexplainable," he said. "I'm just shaking."
Following the giveaways, the exhibit hall offi cially closed,
and Reliable Plant 2019 wrapped up its successful 20-
year celebration in Cleveland with two post-conference
workshops: "Designing and Procuring Equipment to Increase
Reliability" by Jerry Putt of Noria and "SuccessIRies 201:
Hands-on Thermography Workshop" by Jim Seffrin of
Infraspection Institute.
Reliable Plant Conference & Exhibition will celebrate its
21st installment in Louisville, Kentucky, on April 7-9, 2020.
