MCAA24 – Where Education Meets Expectation

February 2, 2024

One highlight of the MCAA Annual Convention is always outstanding education seminars. MCAA24 is on point to continue the tradition of superior education for its members to create a well-rounded and memorable convention experience.

Esteemed MCAA Volunteer Leaders, Robert Bolton (MCAA Immediate Past President), Rick Gopffarth (MCAA President-Elect), Brian Helm (MCAA Past President) and Mark Rogers (MCAA Past President) will lead a Monday morning seminar Today’s Mechanical Industry: Navigating The Risks of the Mechanical and Service Contractor where they will discuss the daily surprises, controversies and obstacles that affect our industry.

Christopher Thornberg, Founder of Beacon Economics LLC, will facilitate The Economy Through Our Eyes. During this seminar Thornberg will touch on how economic trends shape the future and the nuances found between the construction industry and the broader economy.

If insurance is on your interest list, Michael McLin’s How to Convert Your Second Largest Overhead Item (Insurance) Into an Investment vs. a Sunk Cost is an absolute must to attend.

And these seminars are just the tip of the iceberg!
