SMACNA | Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Contractors' Nat'l Assn. 2026
The **SMACNA Annual Convention** is the flagship event of the Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA), a trade association representing HVAC, sheet metal, and architectural sheet metal contractors. The 2026 edition takes place October 25–28, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. SMACNA describes it as its premier event of the year, where the industry's leaders come together to learn, connect, and celebrate at the largest gathering of SMACNA members and partners. The convention is designed for **contractor members, chapter executives, and Associate Members** who want to network with peers, reconnect with colleagues, learn about significant industry trends and new skills, and discuss business topics with leading service providers and manufacturers. Attendees also gain access to keynote education sessions and a full slate of social functions. Beyond the professional program, SMACNA pairs the business agenda with signature social and networking events — including the College of Fellows Golf Outing and Happy Hour — making it both a business-development and relationship-building destination. Held at a connected pair of resort hotels near Walt Disney World, the 2026 convention offers a resort-style setting that blends professional development with family-friendly activities.
