World Sweeper ideas to make sweeping easier.

Product Info From 2006 APWA Congress and Exposition

Here are some sweeping-related product information video clips from APWA 2006.

An Editorial Comment From the Editor of WorldSweeper.com:

Although the APWA touts itself as the 'Best Show in Public Works,' this year the show had absolutely no seminars that directly targeted the sweeping industry. If you want to encourage sweeping seminars for next year, please call or send the organization an email. APWA's Director of Education is Patricia Kutt. Her email address is pkutt@apwa.net, or you may call her at (816) 595-5211.

The first of these videos was posted on the last day of APWA, on September 13th, 2006. We'll be adding a new video clip every few days over the next several weeks after that date. Since the videos were shot on the APWA show floor, they have a bit of background noise that may require that you turn up the speakers on your computer in order to hear the dialogue clearly.

To view the videos you'll also need to have the Quicktime movie viewer, which is probably already installed on your computer. If you need to install the free Quicktime program, available for both PCs and Macs, go here.

You'll find two different links to each movie clip. One is a .mov file (probably best for Macs) and the other a .mp4 file, (probably best for PCs)
