Preparation is the key to a successful season of winter maintenance. New technologies, changes in operational practices, and routine maintenance can all save your agency money once the snow starts to fly. To help you gear up for next snow season, attend the Michigan Winter Operations Conference where you can listen to, learn from, and share ideas with your peers from state, county, and municipal agencies.

 

Choose your Content

As a registered attendee, you will have full access to over 20 technical presentations, including a series for operators and mechanics and another for managers and supervisors. Check out the preliminary 2017 conference agenda for this year's line up of presentations!

 

Meet with Industry Experts

In addition to your choice of technical presentations, this year’s conference will feature suppliers of winter maintenance equipment, materials, and services from across the country. The supplier showcase will give you a unique opportunity to learn more about the latest technologies and techniques for managing ice and snow. The showcase will include indoor booths and outdoor equipment displays.
