June is National Safety Month! At ISEE, safety isn’t just a chapter in the handbook, it’s the driving force behind our mission.

As we hit the middle of June, we are continuing to focus on the core practices that protect our crews, our job sites and our communities. Whether you're an engineer on the bench, a blaster in the field, or you're managing an entire operation, these weekly focuses are a vital reminder of what matters most.

Here is what we’re breaking down this month:
🎯 Precision Drilling: Why straight holes are the true bedrock of blast safety.
🚫 Clear the Blast Area, No Exceptions: A reminder that nothing matters more than making sure the blast zone is empty before detonation.
🎆 Holiday Responsibility: Staying in the know with public safety guidelines leading into the 4th of July and 250th anniversary.

Safety is a collective responsibility every single day. Dive into our full update to see how we’re keeping the industry moving forward securely!

From the Desk of Cowboy Buck Hawkins:
 
Listen up, folks. If you want to make it big in Texas, you have to run with the titans. The Hawkins Empire is built on big risk and bigger rewards, which is why I am personally stepping up to sponsor the Spousal Program this coming February in Dallas! 🤠
 
Now, a true tycoon knows you don’t stay at the top of the mountain by riding solo. I’m looking for a few sharp, ambitious players to join me in the winner’s circle. For a $1,000 investment, your company is going to get the kind of high-society visibility that money usually can’t buy:  
• The Spotlight: Prominent logo placement right at the event where everyone will see it. 
• The Podium Shoutout: Verbal recognition during the official welcome remarks to kick things off. 
• The Network: Full logo and brand placement within the ISEE Conference App, the digital program, and the official webpage. 
• The Power Move: The opportunity to put your own branded wellness or gift items directly into the hands of our attendees. 
In this business, timing is everything. February is going to be an absolutely unforgettable week for me and the empire, and opportunities like this don’t stay open long. Let’s see who has the drive to lock it in and show this conference how real tycoons do business.  
 
👉 Email the conference team, H at [email protected] or Toni-Lee at [email protected], to secure your sponsorship today before your competition beats you to it.  
 
See you in Dallas,
 
Buck Hawkins
The Biggest Blasting & Drilling Tycoon in Texas

With Memorial Day this Monday, we reflect to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our beautiful country. In our industry, many work within, alongside and in support of military communities, including those serving in EOD and other specialized units. This weekend serves as an important reminder of the courage, sacrifice and dedication of those who gave everything to protect the freedoms we enjoy every single day. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend, it is a day to honor, and to remember the heroes who never made it home.

We are grateful for their service and will never forget their sacrifice.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE DESK OF HILARY DAVENPORT

To the Members, Exhibitors and Attendees of

Darlings,

Dallas has always been a city built on big dreams, massive fortunes, and, occasionally, a little bit of high-stakes drama. Decades ago, the world stopped to ask, "Who Shot JR?" Today, I am heartbroken, and frankly, utterly infuriated to tell you that our beloved Metroplex is home to a brand new mystery.

Right before the grand opening of the exhibit hall, somebody went and shot my husband, Buck Hawkins.

Now, as everyone in this industry knows, Cowboy BH is the biggest blasting and drilling tycoon this side of Texas. When you’re at the top of the mountain, you make a lot of envious enemies. The local authorities are baffled, Hawkinsville is currently a crime scene, and quite frankly, if you want something done right, you have to look after it yourself.

That is where you come in.

I am personally calling on the sharpest minds in the industry to help me solve this high-society scandal. When you arrive at the conference this February, I need you to behave like true detectives.

Follow the Clues: Keep your eyes wide open for leaks, whispers and evidence dropping between now and February.

Investigate Hawkinsville: The answers are hidden right there on the expo floor. Every booth might hold a secret; every colleague might be a suspect.

Crack the Case: Figure out who had the audacity to cross the Hawkins family.

Naturally, a Davenport does not ask for favors without offering a proper reward. The brilliant detective who successfully pieces this puzzle together and names the culprit will receive a prize befitting a tycoon:

🏆 A FREE Exhibitor Booth for next year’s ISEE Conference, OR 🏆 A FREE Full Registration to keep you living in the luxury you deserve.

Stay tuned, detectives. The ISEE team will be dropping further clues as the weeks unfold, and I shall expect to see your sharpest suits and your sharpest minds in Dallas.

Bless your hearts,

Mrs. Hilary Davenport (H)
Matriarch of the Hawkins Empire
