and around the world during the course of this year. While some of these events may be fixtures on your calendar, others may offer opportunities for you or your
team that you may not have considered before. Whether your goal is to establish new connections, discover new equipment, or get educated on trends and technologies, there is probably an event that will unlock new opportunities for your business this year. We’ve included gatherings that are focused on applications in specific industries as well as those more closely focused on lifting and rigging skills and gear. Tese events bring together some of the industry’s foremost companies and experts to provide educational sessions, product exhibits and valuable networking opportunities. So here they are, in order of occurrence except where we’ve grouped them by the host organization. And we’ll be bringing you news on other events as we receive more details!
