This showcase also allows rental buyers to explore equipment on their own and without the need to schedule an appointment. To encourage browsing, Rental World is hosting breakfast, for rental buyers only, on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 28-29, 9-10:30 a.m. That makes Rental World a great place for rental buyers to start the day.

As part of its educational mission, Rental World presents “Practical Magic: The Five-Minute Rental Fit” for both alpine and snowboard boots. This Power Panel Rental Industry Roundtable takes place Saturday morning, Jan. 30, at 9:30 a.m. The workshop, led by SAM editor Rick Kahl, will highlight techniques and procedures for fitting and informing guests quickly and correctly. Coffee and breakfast rolls will be on the menu as well.
