About this Event
Storm Field Day
We believe snow professionals deserve more respect. Not as a feel-good sentiment, but as a real, earned reality that shows up in sustainable margins, predictable pricing, and an industry that people actually want to build careers in. Not side hustles. Not "we've got the trucks, might as well" winter work. But sustainable, lucrative, enduring careers and businesses.
Right now, too much of this industry runs on chaos. Inconsistent pricing. Unpredictable planning. Customers who wait until the first snow is in the forecast to sign a contract. A revolving door of labor that never quite stabilizes. We don't think that's inevitable. We think it's a standard problem, and standard problems can be solved by raising standards.
That's why Storm Field Day exists.
This is our annual gathering for the snow professionals who believe the industry is worth investing in. One day. One room. Operators, contractors, dealers, and suppliers, all in one place with a shared purpose: Setting the Future Standard in Snow.
Come ready to learn and connect. Whether it's our keynote speakers, roundtable discussions, or a conversation with a fellow snow professional over lunch, some of the most valuable thinking you'll do all year happens here, surrounded by people who take this craft as seriously as you do.
Raising the standard in this industry isn't something any one company or any one person can do alone. It's going to take all of us. Storm Field Day is where that work happens.

Women's Luncheon
Info: Location: - 20895 610th Ave, Eagle Lake, MN 56024
Join us for a relaxed, no-agenda midday gathering designed for women across every corner of the industry. Whether you're an owner, a contractor, in sales, or the person holding the office together behind the scenes β you belong at this table.
Over lunch, you'll have the chance to connect with other women who understand this industry from the inside, swap stories, share what's working, and build relationships that last well beyond Field Day. We'll also do a casual walk-through of our lawn and service shop β a chance to see the operation up close and spark some conversation along the way.
No panels. No pressure. Just good food, good company, and honest conversations.
Because raising the standard in snow takes all of us β and that starts with making sure every voice in the room has a seat.
