This page covers eight events worth knowing about, ranging from contractor business training to mechanical and HVAC-adjacent technical sessions. The CertainPath Profit Days Roadshow kicks things off early, with a Tucson stop that fits well for Arizona-based operators looking to sharpen margins before busy season. Later in the year, the ASHRAE Annual Conference in Austin draws a more technical crowd focused on building systems and energy standards. For anyone chasing KBIS 2026 adjacencies or planning a full conference calendar around trade and plumbing industry touchpoints, this list is built around actual event dates, locations, and audience fit. If you run a plumbing business in Texas, Arizona, or Oklahoma, most of these are within a short drive and worth putting on the radar early.
