The PSAI's 2020 Convention and Trade Show is shaping up to be the best ever with a robust line up of
speakers, sessions, and new training options. Meet your peers and take a look at the newest products and
services from the top portable sanitation suppliers in the world.
One unique aspect of the annual Convention and Trade Shows is it's location. It is in a different city every
year. In 2020, you'll get to experience the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Watch this space for ideas of places to
go and things to see (as well as a hidden gem or two) in Baltimore. This week we have two ideas for you.
SS John W. Brown
Attendees at the 2019 show in Mobile, Alabama were quite
taken with the USS Alabama docked along Battleship
Memorial Park. Baltimore's piece of naval World War II
history is dubbed the SS John W. Brown. It's a 440-foot
Liberty ship that was launched with hundreds of other ships
from the city's Bethlehem Steel Fairfield Shipyard carrying
troops and supplies to Europe and Asia during World War II.
Now a floating museum and historic cruise vessel, the SS John W. Brown is one of only two fully operational
Liberty ships in the United States. Experience what a World War II merchant marine might have felt as you tour
this magnificent historical treasure. The ship is open for tours on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:00 am and
2:00 pm. To learn more, call 410-558-0646 or write to john.w.brown@usa.net.
Baseball History
Are you a baseball fan? If so, you'll love your trip
to Baltimore for the 2020 PSAI Convention and
Trade show. For starters, the hotel—The Hilton
Baltimore Inner Habor—is within spitting
distance of Camden Yards, home of Oriole Park
and the Baltimore Orioles. View the picturesque
stadium from the hotel or make plans to attend
the 2020 season opener March 26 against the
New York Yankees!
While in Baltimore, you can also visit the birthplace of the great Babe Ruth. A native son of Baltimore, Babe
began his baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles when he was just 19. Learn more about the legend and
see where he was born in 1895. The house is a museum stocked with memorabilia including the catcher's mitt
he used when learning to play baseball and the bat from his famed 1927 season with the Yankees.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday. Click here to order tickets or call 410-727-1539.
