Active Training Sessions
Keep an eye in the program for sessions with this designation ACTIVE TRAINING SESSION . They are practical workshops that include both a lecture and a demonstration of the material either with equipment or workout.

Roundtables
Roundtables offer you the opportunity to discuss a key area of your operation with your peers. With a member of the faculty serving as facilitator, each roundtable focuses on a single topic; there are no speeches. Sessions are limited to 25 registrants to ensure that everyone can participate in the discussion (no consultants, suppliers or other “interested parties” may attend). Note: No CEUs will be awarded for the executive roundtables.
