The SnowSports Institute SIA is launching a full agenda of educational programs aimed at providing state-of-the-art information on global issues and topics that directly impact dayto-day business operations. The effort is part of a new initiative – the SnowSports Institute. The Institute will be a yearround effort by SIA to offer provocative information on topics that directly effect business in the snow-sports industry. The Institute is an extension of SIA’s mantra – The Intelligent Partner.365. Five seminars will be presented in the newly coined “Seminar Center” right on the show fl oor – allowing easy access to information. Topics will include Succession in the Family Business, Model for Success, Greening Your Business and Design Trends Relevant to Sport. Other education opportunities will be available throughout the Mandalay Bay Convention Center over the four days, including seminars on consumer initiatives, B2B and a panel presentation presented by the Outdoor Industries Women’s Coalition. Mini-clinics and presentations will also take place daily in the Market Segment Exhibits in the Convention Center lobby. We hope you will join us to celebrate the family business of snow with all the events, parties and networking you can cram into four days. We might even tuck you in.
