We've had over a week to catch up from FDIC 2013, but it's safe to say we are still working to follow up from the show and recover from all the excitement! As with past years, the Fire Department Instructors Conference did not disappoint. It was great to see everyone who stopped by our booth; Thursday and Friday were packed!

While we had five models on display throughout the show, a few of the models stood out to exhibit visitors. The Bernalillo, St. Johns County, and Westerville units were all much talked about. With various models including countless features, visitors seemed most excited by our aluminum rounded interior cabinets and the EZ Glide Sliding Door.

Our dealers and their Braun ambulance sales representatives from around the country came to Indianapolis to work in our booth. We also had representation in the GM and International/Navistar booths all three days. The show is a great time for our dealers to network with each other, catch up with existing customers, reach out to new ones, and learn the latest industry trends.

As a manufacturer, we also got the chance to catch up with some of our end-customers as well. We especially want to thank Miami Dade, Boston, and Bernalillo County for stopping by to chat with us. It is always wonderful to have the opportunity to speak in person!

VP of Sales & Marketing, Chad Brown, had the following to say about FDIC 2013:

This show is in our backyard and goes great every year. It is so nice to see our existing clients and potential new clients have the opportunity to intermingle together and talk shop. We always get great feedback on our show presence and the quality of units that we bring to display. It is always a great mix of models.

We also want to thank everyone that participated in our first ever Scavenger Hunt! The interactive event had participants visit each one of our Braun ambulance models on display to answer questions. Every entrant with correct answers was given Braun branded merchandise. Tom Miller was also the lucky grand prize winner, receiving a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Tablet with four-corner mounting case. If you were an individual who participated, we'd love to hear your feedback. Leave us a comment below!

With 331 days to go, we're already looking forward to FDIC 2014!
