2013 International SKIDCAR Conference

SKIDCAR SYSTEM, INC. USA and Cedergrens I AB of Klintehamn, Sweden are sponsoring an International SKIDCAR Conference in Las Vegas, NV, USA, April 8th through the 11th, 2013. The conference theme is Training with Advanced Technology.

This event has historically been an informative and educational experience for SKIDCAR™ owners, operators, and instructors. We are pleased to announce that this year, it will also be of great interest to all those in the driver training industry. Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and Military, as well as Municipal Fleet, and private driver training academies should attend. Participants will be exposed to new technologies and equipment, and ways to use them to create a more time efficient, cost effective, and valid driver training program. In a climate of economic challenges and resulting budget consciousness, the tips and techniques that will be demonstrated for using modern technology to accomplish advanced training in small areas should not be missed!

SKIDCAR™ and SKIDTRUCK® Service clinics will be presented throughout the event, along with Instructor/Operator clinics and re-certifications. Speakers and attendees from many different countries will be in attendance, including Peter Bjelkedal of Örnsköldsviks Halkbana in Sweden and Kelvin So of Safe Roads China. Featured presenters will include Era Horton and Doug Bolthouse of the nationally recognized Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training Skid Avoidance for Fire Apparatus Drivers Program (SAFAD).

There are also some major surprises scheduled for this conference! The official introduction of a new member to the SKID Family will be presented to attendees during the conference, with an official world announcement on the last day.
