Snow and Ice Leadership Seminar

As winter approaches, it's important to think about your maintenance operations and how to make them efficient and sustainable. That's why Vaisala, the world leader in providing weather information solutions, has teamed up with NBM Highway Association to bring you a winter maintenance educational event to prepare you for the upcoming season.

Our seminar is different from others around: we round up experts from across the United States to present their successes and failures, answer your questions, and discuss pressing winter operations topics. But even more, they make this training interesting and fun!
