The Rental Show
 

The Rental Show Seminars

March 2, 2009

The Rental Show is much more than a trade show, offering a schedule of rental-focused education as substantial and varied as the product exhibits on the show floor. In 2009, the pre-Show workshops and the seminars offered during the Show will total nearly 85 hours of education — all presented by rental veterans and industry experts. It’s your best opportunity to gather relevant, practical advice you can take home and use in your business. Seminars are popular, so arrive early and have a backup choice in mind in case your first choice is filled.

In addition to the full day of seminars on Monday, be sure to catch the bonus breakfast sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Both the management round-tables and the motivating closing session will take place before the exhibits open, so you can maximize your educational time at the Show.

Cost

Show seminars are included with full registration (you must register for the full registration package to attend).

NOTE — all attendees with full Show registration are eligible to receive one complimentary CD with recordings of all The Rental Show seminars held on Monday. To receive a copy, just complete the order form on the back of the seminar handouts and return it to ARA before March 31, 2009.

Give your counter personnel, mechanics and drivers a chance to experience the full scope of the rental industry at the world’s largest rental trade show — in addition to sharpening their skills with a seminar on customer service.
