The trade show floor will be surrounded by Learning Labs, small, interactive learning spaces featuring presentations by experts on trending topics, best practices, and business strategies. Attendees can also stop by two Podcast Pods, where live interviews will highlight industry voices, success stories, and the conversations shaping the future of the trades.

“Connect is where education and innovation meet,” said PHCC national president Dan Callies, president of Oak Creek Plumbing in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. “The dynamic trade show floor will give attendees more opportunities than ever to gain insights, learn new skills, and walk away with ideas they can immediately apply to their businesses.”

Attendees will also have the chance to support the next generation of professionals by visiting the PHCC Educational Foundation’s Plumbing Apprentice Contest, taking place on the trade show floor. This popular event showcases the skills and dedication of apprentices from across the country.
