What to Expect
ICB and TABB Certified Technicians, Supervisors and Contractors can plan on elements similar to previous ICB/TABB conferences. This programming may also benefit Training Coordinators and Instructors, as well as certain engineers, architects and manufacturers we plan to invite.
This will include:
- TABB and certification-specific breakout sessions that you can select for a customized event.
- The announcement and recognition of the new inductee into the TABB Hall of Fame.
- Contractor presentations on best practices and other lessons learned from TABB, FLS, IAQ, DALT and more..
- A larger vendor area where you can connect with industry partners and suppliers.
As in previous years, conference attendees will receive one (1) CEU for each one (1) hour of Business and/or Certification Track activity that is completed, which would cover Supervisor- and Technician-level certifications in one shot.
Expanded Opportunities
You will also hear about other critical topics presented by ITI and SMOHIT, as well as the following:
