Section Meeting
SECTION 12 MEETING & SOUTHEASTERN SKATE SUPPLY OPEN HOUSE: October 6-7, Southeastern Skate Supply, Roanoke, VA.
October 6, 2025: Shop the trade show floor, meet vendors, and enjoy a catered dinner. Meet Section 12 at Skate Center of Roanoke for an evening of fun, round table discussions, and innovative topics.
October 7, 2025: Optional breakfast meet up. Day 2 of shopping and networking at the SE Skate Trade Show.
Our annual tradeshow is coming up Oct 6 and 7 (Mon and Tues). It will be at our Roanoke warehouse. This is a great opportunity to visit with other rink owners, see new products, meet some of our vendors in person, and tour our facility. We often think of it as an unofficial kickoff to the busy skating rink season.
The show starts at 2pm on Monday afternoon. We will have a free catered dinner in our warehouse on Monday evening. After that, you’ll go to the Skate Center for a time of socializing, skating, and round table discussions with other rink owners and managers.
If you’re able to join us, please RSVP?as soon as possible so we can get an accurate head count for the caterers. Make your hotel reservation by Sept 5 to secure the group rate on rooms at the Courtyard Marriott. You can call them at 540-563-5002 and mention the Southeastern Skate room block. Or click here for a link to book online. After the September 5 date the hotel will be releasing the room block and we can’t make any guarantees that there will be space at the host hotel.
