“There is a gap between what is being manufactured and what is being taught.”
This wasn’t the opinion of one manufacturer; it was the collective message from leading industry manufacturers at the 2026 National HVACR Education Conference. And it’s precisely why they’re coming back in 2027.
Watch the video from manufacturers explaining why they can’t simply donate equipment, and what they’re actually looking for in educational partners. They want educators who understand their equipment and can help students succeed with it.
If you’re an HVACR educator or trainer, this conference exists for you.
What You’ll Experience
At the 2027 National HVACR Education Conference, competing manufacturers set aside competition to focus on a shared goal: helping educators, trainers, and professionals master emerging technologies, new refrigerants, evolving controls, changing regulations, equipment design, and the instructional resources available to support modern HVACR programs.
Unlike typical trade shows that display equipment, this conference goes deeper. We open it, explain it, and let you learn how to teach it, all from the people who designed it. No need to travel the country visiting manufacturers one by one. Everything you need is in one place.
You Will Gain:
- Firsthand access to new equipment and emerging HVACR technologies
- Manufacturer-led training and proven strategies for teaching today’s HVACR systems
- Instructor-focused professional development and educational partnerships
- Direct insights from those designing the equipment your students will maintain
- Continuing education hours for the sessions you complete
- Networking with educators and trainers who share your role
Conference Highlights
- Nearly 100 educational sessions
- Continuing education hours for all classes attended
- Two Educator Credentialing Exam credits
- Exposition featuring leading HVACR manufacturers and industry partners
March 21–24, 2027/ South Point Hotel / Las Vegas, Nevada
