SMACNA’s 2024 national convention, held in Palm Springs, California, was the kind of event one has come to expect—top class education, engaging technical sessions, plenty of networking opportunities, and a beautiful location. Thirteen SMACNA Oregon & Southwest Washington member companies were in attendance, representing contractors from Southwest Washington all of the way to Southern Oregon.
Some of the highlights included a massive product show, with hundreds of vendors showcasing the latest in industry products, technologies, and services. The breakout sessions covered technical, business, and communication topics, and keynote speakers included SMACNA chapter and business leads, political advocates, communication and business development consultants, and experts in emerging technologies.
A labor forum hosted by Jason Watson, Director Labor Relations for SMACNA National, and Mike Coleman SMART General President, shared important insights into the future of labor-management relationships and the importance of ongoing cooperation.
Mark your calendars for the 2025 SMACNA National Convention October 26 – 29 in Maui, Hawaii.
