At the beginning of October, we hosted our Second Annual Northeast De-Icing Field Day — and with 108 attendees from the contractor, municipal, and state level, this event has quickly become one of our favorite parts of the season.
Here’s a look at everything we packed into the day:
💧 Liquid De-Icing Presentation
Jordan Smith from BOSS Snowplow kicked things off with a deep dive into liquid de-icing best practices, equipment, and real-world application.
🎙️ Liquid Users Panel — Hosted by The SnowJobs Podcast
Contractors shared how they’re successfully using liquids on different scales — from sidewalks and pre-treating all the way up to large-scale industrial sites running liquids-only operations. This was one of our favorites, with tons of engaging discussion from attendees in the audience.
❄️ Live Edge Wing Plows
Storm Equipment walked attendees through the benefits, efficiencies, and real performance differences that live edge wing plows can provide compared to traditional snow-clearing equipment.
📄 Snow Insurance & Contract Language
Gaudette Insurance covered one of the most overlooked pieces of snow operations: protecting your company. Attendees took away key points on coverage, contracts, and reducing winter risk.
🧪 Live Brine Making + Equipment Demonstrations
We wrapped up the day with hands-on equipment demos, including brine production, application equipment, and infrastructure involved in running a successful liquids program.
🍻 After-Hours Networking
The conversations kept going well into the evening with light appetizers and a cocktail hour. These networking opportunities are always one of the best parts of any event.
We had a blast hosting everyone and are already planning how to make next year even bigger and better.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, participated, presented, and supported this growing event!
