Learning Labs/Education Sessions

he HVAC Profession, just like the music profession, takes a great deal of talent, a very high level of skill and dedication to continuous practice, learning and improvement. Having the highest quality instruments and tools, along with the “know how” to play them at their absolute peak performance makes you a STAR every time you are in front of your customer. SCAHACC’s 2011 Tough Times Tour Convention and Trade Show is the perfect venue to hone your skills; find the right tools; and get prepared for YOUR ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE – your next call!

Plans are being made now to host sessions on Friday with “5 ways to grow your business” for our dealers as well as “how to get the most out of a trade show” for our vendors. Then on Saturday, there will be six learning labs to chose from, as this Rock Star event really heats up! You won’t want to miss the Tough Times Tour in 2011!

There will be something for everyone including: “hands-on” test equipment training, CEO roundtable discussions, sales coaching sessions and more! More details will be shared as they are “tuned-up”! We know that you will be impressed by the 11 JAM-PACKED learning labs and educational sessions SCAHACC has put together.

There’s no time like January 27-30 to learn and prepare how to take your talent and skill to the next level while networking with some of the industry’s greats.

Let SCAHACC help you build TOUGHER TEAMS during these TOUGH TIMES!

MAKE YOUR NEXT CALL YOUR ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE!

production

If you’ve been to our conventions, you know we host some of the best entertainment . . . this year’s line-up is nothing less. In fact, not one but two comedians will usher in “happy hour” and provide our opening act for SCAHACC’s Rock Star Event.

Stan Slap is known in the business as a “rock star.” He’s edgy; no one has ever called him ordinary -- methods used or results achieved. He’ll be our headliner . . . our own HVAC Business Rock Star.

Comedy entertainer, Jason Huneke has perfromed on America’s Got Talent, Carnival Cruise Line, Disney, etc. His show is clean, fun and edgy. His comedy and juggling act has been a huge hit all over the US -- and will hit you too . . . we mean be a hit with you!

Crocodile Rocks Dueling Pianos... will provide our closing night’s entertainment . . . outrageous, contagious, sing-a-long, clap-a-long, in your face, party!

Brace yourself as our versatile entertainers take to their pianos to play your requests...their way!
