ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) announced that it has opened registration for its first annual National Commercial Contracting Roundtable, "Opportunities Unlimited," to be held October 26-27, 2004, at the Sheraton Inner Harbor in Baltimore.

According to ACCA, at this roundtable commercial HVACR contractors will learn how to take advantage of emerging markets, apply new profit-enhancing technologies, and improve their business operations with better management practices.

"After receiving many requests from commercial contractors to put our expertise in real-world training to work for their unique needs, we knew it was time to add a new major meeting to our calendar, and came up with the Commercial Contracting Roundtable," said Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA's president and CEO. "Working with our contractor members, we put together a dynamite line-up of training and networking opportunities that will pay a huge return on investment."
