SIMA, the Snow and Ice Management Association, is all set to host the 14^th annual Snow & Ice Symposium in Schaumberg, Illinois from June 22-25^th. For over a decade, professionals have referred to the symposium as “The Best Show in Snow,” bringing industry professionals together under one roof to discuss all aspects of the work that they do. Join us, the Landscape Management Network, at SIMA. We’ll be speaking about the best principles of business management, snow and ice operations, leadership, and more!

Be there for LMN president, Mark Bradley, to kick off the “Efficiency Workshop” on Wednesday, June 22 at 12:30! Mark will open the Workshop with a Keynote at 12:30 – 2:00. Then, the workshop attendees will be split into groups and head to different mini sessions.

Join LMN for their mini session on Bottom-line Efficiency. Both Mark and LMN director, Mike Lysecki, will take the floor to answer questions and provide examples of how you can leverage equipment and people to increase the bottom line without increasing the number of employees or headaches. The Landscape Management Network’s participation at the Symposium is sponsored by Caterpillar Inc. The Efficiency Workshop takes place on Wednesday, June 22 – 12:30 – 5pm.

Great People, Great Company: Turning Employees into Entrepreneurs (MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP)
Mark Bradley, The Beach Gardener/Landscape Management Network
Sponsored by Caterpillar Inc.
The real secret to building a business is getting people to think, and behave, like they own the business. In this seminar, Mark will detail the systems in his company that turned his employees into mini-entrepreneurs, engaging everyone with a stake in productivity and profitability. The results are what every contractor is looking for: improved profits, better customer service, reduced re-work, and great employee attraction and retention.

Saturday June 25th – 8:30 – 10 am

Eliminate Waste and Increase Your Sales Capacity (OPERATIONS & EQUIPMENT)
Mike Lysecki, The Beach Gardener/Landscape Management Network
Sponsored by Caterpillar Inc.
As business owners in uncertain times, we need to do more with less. But that concept doesn’t sit well with employees… until they understand the opportunities unleashed by working in a successful company. Join Mike Lysecki as he exposes the systems he and his staff used to double landscape and snow & ice revenues from $3.5 million to $7 million without increasing staff.

At the end of the event, Caterpillar Inc. is hosting a celebratory dinner complete with a fireworks show on the Navy Pier…. More details to come!
