As an active ADI I wanted to visit such an event. The industry seemed lacking in this area. There are industry magazines and web sites with which to view all the products and services that would interest me. Unfortunately, without picking up the phone, I couldn’t talk about them. I wanted to have the opportunity to meet the service providers and chat to them about my needs and my driving school business direction. Whenever I met other instructors, whether at training days or test centres, I got the feedback that I was not alone in my thinking and that it was something that many other instructors also wanted.
