CONNECT 2018 to Deliver 360° View of Best Paths for Plumbing and HVACR Business Success.

Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the famed International Balloon Fiesta, the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association’s (PHCC’s) CONNECT 2018 will be held Oct. 10-12 and will deliver a unique 360° view of the best paths for business success amid today’s plumbing and HVACR landscape. During more than 25 educational opportunities, the annual conference and Product & Technology Showcase will equip contractors with the latest strategies for recruiting and retaining workers, streamlining operations, exceeding customer expectations, leveraging technology, and much more.

New this year, CONNECT 2018 will share select events including the Product and Technology Showcase with the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society’s (RSES’s) Conference & HVACR Technology Expo. Also, IAPMO’s Radiant Professionals Alliance (RPA) members will join PHCC to host a radiant/hydronics education track.

Dynamic Line-up

Two well-respected keynoters will headline the educational sessions at CONNECT 2018. Speaker and author Eric Chester will reveal best practices for recruiting, training, managing and motivating young workers to jobs that many of them don’t consider “sexy.” Plus, notable economist Connor Lokar will help business leaders analyze and prepare for the business cycle changes that affect their companies.
