There's too much to do

CONEXPO 2020 is an enormous event. Even over five days, the only way to see everything is to spend 46 seconds at each booth.

And that’s without travel time. The convention is spread over an area the size of 50 football fields, with 130,000 people expected to visit.

So, planning your visit is vital. And that begins with planning your first day. Think about whether you want to see everything before you get down to business or if you want to work first and see everything later. Research those events that are unique to Tuesday 10th, the first day of CONEXPO. And consider what everyone else will be doing and whether you want to run with the crowd or forge your own path.

The infographic below will give you some things to help as you make those decisions.

Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators. They exhibit an extensive background in the crane industry and their approach to training is very thorough and comprehensive. CICB’s professional instructors are highly dedicated and motivate everyone in the class to strive for excellence. The material is well-organized and the training is presented in a clear and concise manner. The classroom instruction and actual hands-on training go beyond our expectations. Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”

This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”

The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career
