Last week, IDA Fall EduCon brought the industry together in Columbus, Ohio, and it was one of our most impactful Fall EduCons.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, shared ideas, and helped make the event such a success. It was great to see so many garage door professionals come together to strengthen our industry.

We’re grateful to everyone who made Fall EduCon possible and look forward to seeing you next spring for the next IDA EduCon.
