Los Angeles Organizing Expo Reflects The Most Current Trends In Residential And Business Organizing
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 30, 2008 -- Piles of files, cramped cupboards and crowded closets were hot topics at The 4th Annual Los Angeles Organizing Expo (http://www.napola.org) held Monday, September 22, 2008.
With a record crowd of consumers, organizing professionals, home-building representatives and interior designers, the event drew participants from Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and as far away as Ohio and Minnesota. The one-of-a-kind organizing Expo was the place to find time-saving products, solutions, tools and services for consumers wanting to get their lives in order and learn first-hand the secrets to an organized life.
John Trosko, President of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers said, "Busy Angelenos probably find the stress and strain of modern life demanding on both their time and space. It is vital when trying to simplify one's life to choose the right organizational tools. Lucky for us, there is now a wide variety of stylish, functional and affordable organizing options available and we have many of these products at the Expo."
This year's Expo hosted the first ever "Ask the Organizer" Panel. Home and business organizational experts offered guidance and expertise to a packed house of aspiring professional organizers and members of the general public.
