First Ever Virtual HNA
The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (IMPI) has developed a 10-hour virtual education event due to the cancellation of this year's Hardscape North America (HNA) expo. With 42 interactive sessions focused on Business, Installation, and Marketing & Sales learning tracks, participants can earn up to 30 continuing education credit hours towards their ICPI Concrete Paver Installation Certification. The online event will be held on January 26-27, available through a mobile or desktop event app that allows participants to schedule sessions, set reminders, network with peers, and connect with sponsors. Registration includes access to all sessions across each track for both days.
