That's what Safe Tenting training in Nashville was all about. Over two days, participants had the opportunity to get hands-on, ask questions and dig deeper into the practices behind safer tent installations.

Thanks to Chattanooga Tent & Event Solutions and CTC Nashville, and to everyone who brought their questions, experience and ideas to the training. 👏
