• ICC code update with TRD code consultant Paul Armstrong, PACCS.

Tent Conference is also packed with opportunities for fun networking and socializing, including an old-fashioned cookout, a “TRD Experience” competition, a western-themed saloon dinner and a rodeo, all included in the full registration fee.
