We were approached by ADE to sponsor a couple of their events in Utah and Arizona and it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Thought we would try it and see how it worked out.  We didn't have a real good idea what they were all about.

They had another one scheduled in Houston and Carl Grotti, one of affiliate trainers, graciously offered to do a pro-bono class for them for free if they just covered expenses.  A rare opportunity to get some quality real world training for the event.  They declined the offer   

Now it seems the Houston event has been canceled:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, its has become necessary to postpone indefinitely the September 22 region 2 Expo in Houston, TX. We look forward to seeing you in Houston at a later time. We will keep you updated on future training classes and seminars as they become available."

For some reason, I am not surprised.
