OPFMA Annual Conference and Trade Show
October 27th and 28th
Crowne Plaza North - Columbus, Ohio
|
The
OPFMA Annual Conference provides a forum to present and discuss aspects of energy efficiency, renewable energy, updated technology and solutions, protecting the environment as well as health and safety policies - regulatory legislation and codes guideline.
You can choose from (24) educational and informative presentations - excellent speakers and successful implementers of the presented topics will be teaching and answering your questions during the workshops throughout the conference.
The Grand Ball Room is packed with exhibitors from Ohio and other states presenting you the latest in their field of expertise and ready to answer your questions. Visit the Trade Show to gain new knowledge, make new contacts and friends that could be beneficial to you and your facility long after the Conference is over.
Attendees looking for BOC certification renewal, by participating in this well designed event - that meets the 3rd Millennium new requirements - will gain credit hours toward the renewal. Make sure you turn in the workshop evaluation form
completed with your input and your name – as a proof of your participation to that workshop.
But whether or not you need BOC credit renewal units you will leave the conference with valuable knowledge and contacts that will benefit your facility and your job performance as well as gain an enlarged network of peers that could support you for years to come.
The Conference offers not only terrific speakers and the best exhibitors around the state, but we tailored the conference to provide an open and collegial atmosphere to promote networking. There are also many raffles to spark the days with fun, the best food the Plaza Hotel could offer, and we have added live entertainment with magic and clean humor at dinner time!
Come advance your knowledge and skills - be ready to absorb a wealth of information pertinent to facilities maintenance in a demanding new era!
