This past week, I had the chance to attend the Snow & Ice Management Association Symposium, in Cleveland, Ohio. The SIMA Show is what the GIS is to the Golf industry. If a product has anything to do with large volume snow removal, the SIMA Show is where to go. We are not talking about a small landscape company that puts a plow on his pickup, in the off-season. These are companies that track everything they do through phone apps and see things in the most simple equation of Time=Money. The hall was filled with all sorts of snow moving equipment, from large snow plows, to the use of autonomous GPS guided snow removal products. It is really incredible how many products are out there.
On a side note, the town of Cleveland was nothing like I expected. It is one of the nicest towns I have been to for business (except for the infestation of May Flies, which is a Lake Erie thing), as well as the locals were exceptionally nice. Definitely not what I had expected.
