It does not feel like BOILER 2024 is so far in the rear view but we are now one year out from the 2026 BOILER Expo and planning is in full swing to continue to raise the bar on this event, which will take place March 31 – April 2, 2026 at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, TN.
I am excited to share that ABMA has already secured more than 90 exhibitors and once again, expects the growth of this event to continue to climb.
Over the next six months, ABMA staff is once again partnering with our Advisory Committee and will use exhibitor and attendee feedback from BOILER 2024, along with bringing new ideas to create an enhanced event that showcases the very best of the boiler industry.
