Road shows
What is a SECWA road show?
A road show is usually a tour of local car washes, and sometimes vendor facilities, plus networking, in any order. Sometimes it’s networking the first night and a tour the next day, maybe capped off with a baseball game. Other times it’s Topgolf and networking on day one, then the tour before everyone heads home. It varies, but there’s always a tour of a few car washes.
