Management Success
2011 Municipal and Contractor Fall Equipment Show
(Formerly called the “Snow & Ice Symposium”)


The Snow and Ice Sector Group of Landscape Ontario, the Ontario Parks Association and the Municipal Equipment and Operations Association are hosting an annual conference and trade show program.

Mark your calendars on September 14 and 15 to attend at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex in Kitchener, Ontario.

In addition to a display of equipment, this year’s conference program
features many opportunities to help you make your operations more
efficient and cost effective.

Build-a-Bid & Beyond-the-Bid Programs: September 14, 2011
The programs were created by members of
SIMA (the Snow and Ice Management Association) to address one of the
greatest business challenges they faced, proper pricing. Their work
resulted in these full-day programs, (running concurrently) that will help you put together and
sell snow and ice proposals that fit YOUR business model.
Pre-registration required.

This
full day program is a general overview of many different components of
