LAS VEGAS – The Irrigation Association has announced keynote speakers and an event schedule for its 2019 Irrigation Show and Education Week this winter.
From Monday, Dec. 2 to Friday, Dec. 6, attendees can view exhibits, participate in the new product contest, go to IA General Session and even catch the keynote speech, which features Jim Abbott, a former Major League Baseball player. Despite being born with one hand, he ended up representing Team USA in the 1988 Olympics and threw a no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993. He played 10 seasons for four different teams, and he later penned the book "Imperfect," which includes some of the similar messages he'll share with the audience at the IA show.
Other educational sessions during the show will focus on topics like landscape irrigation design, CAD basics, and more, including a special series called Industry Insights. A full schedule can be viewed on the IA website. The exhibit hall opens Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 10 a.m. IA Certification Exams are also available during the show.
