The 2003 conference, themed "Out of the Comfort Zone," will take place March 12-15, 2003 at the Wyndham Palm Springs in Palm Springs, CA.

"HVACR contractors all over the country are confronting new challenges and a rapidly changing business environment," said Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA president and ceo. "The contractors who succeed in the 21st century will be those who move out of their comfort zones, take risks, and expand into new markets and new technologies. Our 2003 conference will offer contractors exciting new tools and educational opportunities to help them grow their businesses, increase their profits, and control their costs."
