PHOENIX — Service World Expo, a conference, trade show, educational, and networking event for people in the plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and remodeling trades, is scheduled for October 3-6 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

With a lineup of keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and business training sessions, the 2023 Service World Expo will offer attendees fresh business insights, event organizer Service Nation said in a press release. Hundreds of exhibitors will be on hand, showcasing innovations and services.

“This event is highly focused on training, education, and networking, with fun sprinkled in as well,” said Tom Peregrino, president of Service Nation. “Our training and education are designed by revenue level, so no matter what size a company is, they’ll receive valuable information for where they are on their journey. We’ve also made it even easier than ever to network with other successful contractors. I’m excited that The New Flat Rate has combined their conference with ours to further increase the value.”

Taking center stage during the four-day event will be a number of presenters. Kicking the festivities off will be a conversation with actor and author Richard Karn. Attendees will have opportunities to also hear from many others, including former Philadelphia Eagle and magician Jon Dorenbos and entrepreneur Tommy Mello, whose presentation is titled “Elevate: How to Build a Business Where Everybody Wins.”

A special Women of Service World breakfast and panel discussion is scheduled for 7 a.m. Thursday, October 5. Bringing together five leading female industry voices, the panel will be moderated by Service Nation’s director of association management, Carol Longacre, who will lead a conversation about the evolution of trade industries and the growing prominence of women in those industries.

The expo will offer a mix of educational seminars. Topics will include financials and best operating practices; the full schedule of seminars can be found at www.serviceworldexpo.com/schedule/.

A partnership with The New Flat Rate, which offers price-generating software for home service contractors, will bring the popular Business Uncensored Conference to Service World Expo. The Business Uncensored Conference is designed to provide the owners of home services businesses with strategies that help them improve overall profitability while maximizing growth potential.

“By partnering with The New Flat Rate, we are now able to offer an unprecedented amount of resources and knowledge to those attending Service World Expo,” said Sarah Blackhall, vice president of creative at Service Nation.
