Our CM Hoist School is rapidly approaching. This training seminar provides a lot of benefits, including high quality-training from industry-leading instructors and exclusive sessions with representatives from the brands of gear we use every day in the field.
This year we are introducing a new series of vendor sessions that will give our attendees first-hand seminars with the renowned brands that they use on a daily basis. The CM Hoist School Lunch and Learn vendor sessions will provide discussions hosted by brand representatives that are focused on informing and updating our attendees on the latest equipment they have to offer.
While attendees enjoy lunch, our vendors will present a quick dive into their products and most recent offerings. Students are encouraged to interact and ask questions—you’ll get the answer straight from the source!
Don’t take our word for it—past students who have attended our CM Hoist School had some great things to say about the training upon completing the multi-day event. Take a look at what our graduates thought of the CM Hoist School!
