September 14, 2017 | By Rehana Begg
Madison, Wisc., and Chicago, Ill. – Hurricane Irma caused much damage across the Caribbean and up Florida’s west coast. Fortunately, The Diplomat Beach Resort, the host hotel for the NIBA/PTDA Joint Industry Summit, was spared Irma’s wrath and is ready to host member participants from both NIBA-The Belting Association and Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) in Hollywood, Florida, on September 27-30.
Conversations with the management at The Diplomat as well as other people in the area have generated confidence for a spectacular experience for participants. Although the hotel did sustain some minor damage, primarily in landscaping, restoration crews are already at work. The hotel maintained power throughout the storm so all services are up and running.
The organizers of the NIBA/PTDA Joint Industry Summitare are delighted to be able to welcome all participants to Hollywood, Florida.
