Happy HUMPDAY and May the Fourth be with you! Last week, we hosted a two-day Manufacturing Rep Meeting event at our facility in Davenport, IA. It was the first time we have been able to all get together since before the pandemic and the success was so great that we hope to make this an annual tradition. Thank you all for making the journey from near and far. Let's recap the event and debut a special new video introducing you to the Grace team and our mission.

Shoutout to the team listed above for their delivery and representation of what we're all achieving at Grace! It was a jam-packed day and a half event that thankfully felt balanced, given the overwhelming amount of information we had to share. But don't just take our word for it! We sent out a survey and have received some amazing feedback and even some great ideas for the event moving forward.
We know the time of these individuals is incredibly valuable, not only to us but also to the many innovative product lines they are representing in the industry. This is why we wanted to make sure every minute counted and we're grateful for the feedback we've received so far:
My first sales conference with Grace. I was impressed with the people and culture of the organization.
Very impressed by the preparation of the Grace team and the efficient use of time - I received tremendous value in the topics presented but most of all in meeting the unique, gifted, and committed Grace team.
Just a great event and every detail was thoroughly thought through. I was impressed from start to finish and can't wait until the next one!
We were honored to serve the many people that help make Grace products available across the globe. Thank you to our rockstar representatives for coming to our house and bringing your passion, interest, and ideas. Thank you for learning from us and teaching us. We're excited for the next chapter in our journey.
Finally, we would like to take YOU, dear readers, to our facility (virtually) and introduce you to our Grace family. We're excited to debut this new video that tells our story. Click the video below for an introduction to Grace Technologies by Drew Allen:
