Ben: Hey guys, how’s it going? Ben Ricciardi with Ironclad Restoration Marketing here Live at the RIA conference in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our backyard here at Ironclad Restoration Marketing with a very, very dear friend of mine that we just happened to run into in the Expo Hall, Ms. Beth Thompson with Core. Can you tell me a little bit about Core and maybe some of the exciting things you guys got coming on pretty soon?

Beth: Yeah, absolutely. So Core, I’m with Core Group, VP of Events. We are a member network of Restoration Contractors. We’ve got a million different facets to that. But our emphasis right now is great companies need a home and we wanna be that home, that member network for restoration companies to work together to do bigger things. ‘Cause when we collaborate, we can accomplish bigger, bigger things.

So that’s kind of, who Core is. And then the thing I wanna share is Collective; is our big annual conference. And it is August 6th through the eighth. We invite everyone in the industry. We will have everyone from Carriers, Contractors, Adjusters, Vendors, the whole gamut. And we’ll be at the JW Marriott, August 6th through eighth and we want everybody to be there.
