ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Registration is open for this year’s Women in HVACR conference, scheduled for Monday, October 6, through Wednesday, October 8, at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Women in HVACR is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration trades. According to a Women in HVACR press release, the 2025 conference, entitled “Bet on Yourself,” will feature keynote addresses by Angela Gaffney, an executive coach and best-selling author who helps leaders get “unstuck” and lead with confidence, and Erin Hatzikostas, the founder and CEO of b Authentic inc. and an expert on the impact of authenticity in the workplace.
“It is the goal of Women in HVACR to give women the tools they need to be successful in the skilled trades industry, and our annual conference serves to provide them with a professional and fun venue to network with and learn from other women in the HVACR fields,” said the organization’s president, Kristin Gallup, a director of product management for Carrier Enterprise. “If you’re ready to grow in your field, connect with other women in the industry, and celebrate our successes, this convention is for you.”
In addition to two days of educational programming, the conference will feature several networking events. The conference will also offer morning fitness activities at 6 a.m. on October 7 and October 8.
Registration is $999 for members and $1,299 for non-members, and rooms are available at the Red Rock Hotel.
The Women in HVACR conference has been providing women in the industry with education and networking opportunities since the group was conceived at the AHR Expo in Chicago in 2002, the press release said.
The first conference was held in the form of a roundtable discussion as part of the Comfortech Conference in Dallas, Texas, in 2003. The nonprofit became an official organization in 2004, and started hosting its own standalone annual conferences that year.
“We are dedicated to encouraging and supporting career growth for women in all areas of HVACR, including as technicians, in sales, customer service, management, and ownership positions,” Gallup said. “We believe in achievement through teamwork. We are a strong organization because so many women in leadership positions are willing to step forward and share their knowledge. Our annual conference is a celebration of that leadership.”
