“Excellent conference that contained very real topics that can be realized and used immediately. These topics also were able to be received by a broad base of experience levels. Great work and thank you to all involved.”

– San Francisco, CA, 2023

“I honestly will never forget the first three speakers. The best part was they were fellow tradesmen. The way they presented the information was honestly like someone on a jobsite was talking to us. No sugar coating anything, just facts. It made so much of the information easier to relate to and pay attention to. That’s important being a fitter and on the job all the time my attention span for long classes isn’t the best, but this was no problem. Kevin’s presentation is something I will remember for a long time.”

– Chicago, IL, 2023

“Overall, this was a great conference! It will be massively useful on the job site, and in my personal life. This conference has helped me realize how to implement being a better communicator, and person. I can now begin to hold myself and other people accountable.”
