FALLS CHURCH, Virginia  Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors--National Association (PHCC), encourages plumbing and HVAC contractors to make plans now to be part of PHCC CONNECT 2025. Industry professionals are invited to join for three days packed with valuable education and networking opportunities.

PHCC CONNECT will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Oct. 27-30, at DeVos Place. The theme of this year’s conference is “Growth Through Collaboration,” emphasizing the power of working together to drive innovation, overcome challenges, and achieve success in the industry.

CONNECT will kick off Oct. 27, with its opening reception at a Grand Rapids-themed convention center ballroom. CONNECT will also host a reception on the evening of Oct. 29 at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, an inspirational space where attendees can explore science, history, and culture while mingling with industry peers.

For CONNECT 2025, PHCC has created a valuable experience with HVAC and plumbing contractors in mind. For three days, contractors will be immersed in focused education, valuable networking opportunities, and a must-see Product and Technology Showcase, which begins earlier this year on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

“PHCC CONNECT is all about fostering growth through collaboration — plumbing and HVAC professionals coming together to exchange ideas and share knowledge,” says Dan Callies, PHCC National president and president of Oak Creek, Wisconsin-based Oak Creek Plumbing. “We’re looking forward to an event filled with energy, innovative ideas, and solutions as we work together to help our industry thrive and evolve.”

The conference will wrap up with an awards breakfast on Thursday, Oct. 30, allowing conference-goers to stay and play in Grand Rapids, or head back to the office to start putting all their new resources to work by week’s end.
