When Florida Senator and presidential candidate Marco Rubio’s team booked on Thursday for Sunday evening’s rally, the Convention Center team had their work cut out for them. On top of the short notice, they were in the midst of the 2016 Virginia Fire and Rescue Conference and making final preparations for the 16th Annual VOW Bridal Show, both of which were being held on the same day as the rally. With an estimated 2500 attendees, hundreds of whom showed up early to wait in line, it is no small feat that the event was pulled off without a hitch. Senator Rubio’s team was very pleased with the efforts of the VBCC team, with lead advance member Joey Smith saying: “Thanks to your entire team. I know a campaign’s traveling show brings with it a few challenges and, at times, annoying requests. However, your entire team was incredible to work with and the team was very happy with the event. Thanks again and I look forward to doing another event with you all, hopefully sooner than later!”
Next up: The building is currently being flipped from the Fire and Rescue Conference to accommodate the DECA Conference and 3200 incoming kids!
Way to go VBCC team!!
