Once every two years, USPA hosts the Drop Zone Operators’ Conference. The DZO Conference offers drop zone owners, operators, managers and staff the opportunity to network with other DZOs, learn about the latest safety issues and gather lots of new marketing ideas. The one-day conference includes a series of presentations from industry experts and discussions among attendees regarding marketing ideas for drop zones of all sizes; suggestions for improving the safety of DZ operations and canopy safety; the DZO roundtable, an open discussion to exchange ideas; and much more. USPA plans to host the next DZO Conference in early 2013.
