Conference Theme - Preparing For Battle!
"Preparing For Battle" refers to the many battles we face as thermographers. When we go into battle, we want to be prepared and our conference is intended to help you know the  right tools you need when you are battling building Moisture, Electrical problems, Heat Loss, even equine or medical  injuries. Thermography has proven to be an effective tool for identification of common defects however in almost  all cases, ancillary equipment will be necessary including moisture meters, amperage clamps, underground imaging  equipment and ultrasound to name a few. 

TIC is designed to help you "Prepare For Battle" with the right tools and know how to use them.
