Las Vegas, in a flash

Our next Refresher seminar will be in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 31-June 1, 2017 at the Orleans Hotel.

Get in, get out, and get back to work in a flash. After your training, take the hotel’s free shuttle to The Chandelier, an extravagant three-story bar in the heart of the Cosmopolitan Resort Hotel. We’ll see you there.

Giving back to STEM education

As professional educators (and self-professed science nerds), we support STEM programs in schools across the country. We’ve recently contributed to AQTreks, a Colorado-based company striving to get a two-week air quality monitoring program in science classrooms across the country. Learn more about AQTreks’ innovative program.

Hip town, cool training

Join McCoy in Portland, Oregon for our next 5-day seminar, June 19-23, 2017. Our host hotel, the Benson, offers luxurious accommodations in the heart of downtown. The city is teeming with cool brew-pubs and hip hangouts. After your training, head one-and-a-half miles across the river to visit the “casually threatening” Rimsky-Korsakoffee House, where you can experience some of the best coffee and desserts in town (it’s cash only and opens at 7:00PM each night). Or, check out Hair of the Dog, one of the city’s many craft breweries, only one mile away from the hotel. Sign up today.
