NADCA Opens Registration for In-Person Fall Conference

LAUREL, N.J.—July 15, 2021—Registration is now open for the National Air Duct Cleaners Association’s (NADCA), also known as the HVAC Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Association, Fall Technical Conference. The NADCA Fall Technical Conference will take place September 16-18 at the Hilton Charlotte University Place in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The NADCA Fall Technical Conference is a popular annual event for air duct cleaning technicians throughout every stage of their careers. It features hands-on training in every aspect of HVAC system cleaning.

In addition, technicians seeking Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) or Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) certifications will have the opportunity to participate in the pre-conference training course on Thursday, September 16, and exams for both certifications will be offered on Saturday, September 18.

The event will offer a robust educational program, with industry expert-led sessions featuring topics like:

• Tackling exposed and exterior ductwork
• Upselling to grow sales
• Reading blueprints
• Commercial estimating
• The impact of filtration in HVAC systems
• Indoor air quality

Technicians also have access to advanced training tracks about cleaning variable air volume (VAV) boxes, fan coils, and the hidden hazards of duct cleaning, as well as highly technical tracks with hands-on training stations for real-world technical experience. The conference also provides attendees with the opportunity to gain continuing education credits necessary for certification renewals.

“We’re so excited to return to an in-person format for our Fall Technical Conference. Like so many other organizations, the unknowns and safety concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to move to a virtual format for our 2020 event,” said Jodi Araujo, CEM, NADCA’s chief executive officer. “We really had no sense for the appetite of our members to attend a virtual conference, but clearly the desire was there, as we saw almost 200 attendees at the event and the post-meeting networking happy hour.

“Despite a highly successful virtual event in 2020, our Fall Technical Conference is always a not-to-be-missed in-person event for air duct cleaning technicians, providing extremely valuable hands-on training and education, as well as the opportunity to take the coursework and exams for our ASCS and CVI certifications,” Araujo continued.

Due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, registration is limited, and onsite registration will not be available. To register for the NADCA Fall Technical Conference or learn more about the event, including a detailed program agenda, visit nadca.com/fall-tech/2021.
