52nd RMLA CONFERENCE & TRADE SHOW
Preparations are underway for the 2024 RMLA Conference and Trade Show!
As always, our ultimate goal is to provide compelling, advancing, and topical education to the ski industry’s lift operations and maintenance work force, and that will not be compromised. In order to stay ahead we must give our personnel the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. This training leads to engagement and engagement leads to retention.
2024 SAVMI Conference & Tradeshow
The Ski Area Vehicle Maintenance Institute (SAVMI) is a non-profit organization, which represents ski area vehicle maintenance personnel throughout North America. The primary focus of the organization is to provide education and a platform for exchange of information between ski areas and suppliers.
The SAVMI Conference & Trade Show is the largest annual gathering of the SAVMI membership. (And we believe it to be the largest gathering of ski area vehicle personnel in the US!) The educational presentations and networking opportunities offered are extremely valuable. Over the past several years there have been many changes in the ski area vehicle maintenance industry and our organization provides your staff with the most updated materials available today. Conference goers receive expert instruction, take part in “hands-on” demonstrations, meet with industry suppliers & consultants at the trade show, and mix with industry people at several social and recreational events.
