EDUCATION SESSIONS

Engage with industry leaders to gain insights into emerging trends, innovative technologies, and professional development strategies that drive growth and deliver immediate results for your business. Sessions will focus on Standards, Business Operations, and Sales.

1. Understanding the Canadian Fence Standards- Sam Bradbury, Binns Canada

Session Description: 8:00 – 8:45
Canadian fence contractors are increasingly expected to understand and apply appropriate industry standards, specifications, codes and installation practices. This session will provide an easy-to-understand overview of why standards matter and how they can help contractors protect their companies, their customers and their reputation. More importantly, what is the Canadian Fence Associating doing to support these standards.

Takeaway Message:
“Standards aren't just about compliance—they're about protecting your company and building a better fence industry.”

2. The Importance of Proper Sales for Your Fence Company- Ryan Leslie- Elite Fence Academy
Session Description: 9:00- 9:45
A great fence company can still struggle if it doesn't have a professional sales process. Too many contractors approach sales simply by providing a price, rather than understanding that selling is about creating value, establishing trust and solving the customer's problem.

Takeaway Message:
“You don't need more estimates—you need more profitable sales.”

3. Overlooked Operations That Cost Your Fence Company- Tony Thornton, CFA Association Director
Session Description: 10:00- 10:45
Many fence companies don't lose profitability because of one major mistake. They lose it through dozens of small operational problems that occur every day—poor scheduling, material shortages, inaccurate job information, excessive travel, rework, inefficient crews, equipment problems, poor communication and jobs that take longer than they should.

Takeaway Message:
“Every wasted hour, extra trip and preventable mistake come directly out of your profit.”

4. ASTM F2781: Moving the Fencing Conversation Beyond Cost Per Foot- Sarah Vaage, Wallace Perimeter Security
Session Description: 11:00- 11:45
For years, fencing decisions have been driven by one question: "What's the cost per foot?" Today, owners and specifiers are increasingly asking a different question: "What will fence failure cost me?" This session provides a practical overview of ASTM F2781 and how performance standards are helping reshape conversations around fence value, risk, and long-term operational impact. Learn how tested fence systems can support better outcomes for contractors, distributors, and end users alike.

 Takeaway Message:
"What will fence failure cost me, not knowing performance standards”
