Associated Pennsylvania Contractors Convention

Yesterday I photographed the APC (Associated Pennsylvania Contractors) annual convention. The event was a lot of (predominantly) engineering-type men in business suits listening to the state of road construction in Pennsylvania.

As part of the convention they brought in Stacy Allison. Stacy was the first American woman to reach the peak of Mount Everest. She was a dynamic speaker with a motivational message that was entertaining to listen to. I'd recommend her to anyone who comes across this page while considering hiring her as a speaker.

In the picture above Stacy is explaining the two jugs that when on the mountain you go to sleep with, and why you DON'T want to confuse them.

Here Stacy signs her book for one of the convention visitors.

The convention had a number of smaller seminars with speakers on various issues concerning road builders in Pennsylvania. Above is one such speaker.

Along with photographing the various speakers and moderators I photographed various members of the audience.

The trade show portion of the convention had several food sponsors. These booths were photographed with each company's staff.

The workers of APC sported shirts sponsored by Dawood Engineering
