In addition to two full days of educational programming, the convention will also include optional networking events such as the Boot Scootin' Networkin' event on Monday afternoon and the Competition and Convo event on Wednesday evening. There will also be two evening events on Monday and Tuesday.

O'Grady shared that Women in HVACR began as a conversation during the AHR Expo in Chicago back in 2002. The following year at Comfortech conference in Dallas, a roundtable discussion about women in the industry was held. By 2004, Women in HVACR was officially formed and began hosting its own conferences.

"We've come full circle," O'Grady said. "From a roundtable discussion in Dallas in 2003 to our 21st annual conference in the same city, we're proud of the more than two decades we've worked to provide women in HVACR with mentorship and guidance."

The organization's main goal is to further the growth of women in all areas of the HVACR industry, including technical, sales, management, and ownership positions. Through various networking opportunities and a professional environment, Women in HVACR aims to support its members' development.

Those interested in attending the convention can register on the organization's website for $750 for members and $899 for non-members. For more information about Women in HVACR and its mission, visit their website at https://www.womeninhvacr.org/.
