DGIS “Heats-Up” in Scottsdale

While people usually don’t flock to the 110F+ temperatures of Phoenix in the summer, last’s month’s Dangerous Goods Instructor’s Symposium hosted by Labelmaster, had a record breaking turn-out with nearly 200 dangerous goods professionals attending. The conference opened with outstanding workshops including, LaQuita Donald demonstrating Effective Teaching Strategies, Sonia Irusta presenting DG Transport Realities and the Trainer, and Geoff Leach presenting an update of ICAO 2015. The following days were filled with riveting presentations by other industry leaders including Kristel Vermeersch, Mike Hoysler, Robert Jaffin, Shannon Mizell, Aaron Montgomery, Bob Benedict, Donna McLean, Bob Richard, Neil McCulloch and Rhonda Jessop. A notable highlight was the powerful presentation given by Wendy Buckley entitled, Lac Megantic — Anatomy of A Tragedy. The conference was held at the W Hotel and everyone enjoyed the social aspects of this annual networking opportunity. Held annually, the 2015 DGIS will be September 9-11 in St. Louis.
