SN-ICC Presents Seminar on November 2
SN-ICC will present an education program November 2 entitled "GETTING CODE OFFICIALS AND SPECIAL EVENT PROVIDERS ALL UNDER THE SAME TENT" with "tents, canopy and special event requirements in the I-Codes.
The program will be presented by Jim Erickson, Safety Advocates for Tents & Special Events (SAFTSE).

Tent rental companies and code officials have to reach a mutual understanding regarding the construction of a temporary event. The development of a particular event can be unique to a geographical area. Because of these complexities, there needs to be a partnership to develop a safe and successful event.
The program will be held at North Las Vegas City Hall on Nov 2 from 8 AM to Noon on the 5th Floor in room 521. Attendance is limited to the first 56 registrations; to register click here. The address is2250 Las Vegas Blvd. North, North Las Vegas, NV 89030.
