elements of CCO rigging andmobile crane certificationswere featured in regular demos
conducted throughout each day. NCCCO’s “Visit CONEXPO, Leave CCO-Certified” program,
featuring onsite exam registration and score reporting, proved extremely popular, with
dedicated testing rooms conveniently located to themain exhibit area. NCCCO also
sponsored nine crane and rigging seminars as part of a brand new Crane & Rigging track
at CONEXPO.
