Helping PNW HVAC technicians stay trained, trusted, and ready for the next generation of heating and cooling.
The PNW HVAC NextGen Summit is a one-day conference hosted by the Pacific Northwest HVAC Association. It brings together HVAC technicians, apprentices, contractors, educators, inspectors, and industry partners for practical training, code updates, clean-energy readiness, and professional connection.
The HVAC industry is changing fast. Codes are evolving. Heat pumps are growing. Customers expect better service. The Summit is built to help Pacific Northwest HVAC professionals sharpen their skills, stay code-ready, understand clean-energy systems, and raise the standard of service across the region.
Come ready to learn. Leave ready for the field.
A short welcome that frames the industry shift around workforce needs, code changes, heat pumps, refrigerants, and customer trust.
A practical update on local code, permitting, inspections, and common field mistakes.
A hands-on or demo-style session focused on one high-value skill — low-voltage troubleshooting, heat pump diagnostics, refrigerant recovery, airflow basics, or meter usage.
A simple, field-focused session on where the industry is headed and what technicians need to understand.
A short panel with an inspector, employer, instructor, technician, and vendor partner.
Recognize participating technicians, students, instructors, sponsors, and member companies.
One room, one main stage, a small vendor area, and a single practical skills demo. No overbuilt breakout maze.
