2025 CEA National Issues Conference: Your Chance to Influence Policies Affecting Your Business – Register Today!

April 7, 2025

May 5 – 7, 2025 | Washington, DC

As a business owner in the mechanical contracting industry, you already juggle enough—projects, workforce management, regulations, and keeping up with an ever-changing market. But what happens in Washington, D.C. directly impacts your bottom line. The CEA National Issues Conference is your chance to influence the policies affecting your business, rather than just reacting to them after they’re set.

This is not just another conference. This is where mechanical contractors shape the future of their businesses and the industry. With exclusive Hill visits, you won’t just hear about policy—you’ll have a seat at the table with lawmakers who make the decisions.

  • Be Heard – Meet with lawmakers to advocate for policies that support contractors and skilled workers.
  • Gain Insights – Hear from top industry experts and government officials on the latest regulatory developments.
  • Expand Your Network – Build relationships with industry peers, policymakers, and business leaders.
