Author and motivational speaker Mark Matteson will deliver the keynote address May 6 during the Radiant Panel Association’s “Building Radiant” event. The RPA’s annual conference and trade show will take place May 5-8 in Reno, Nev.

Matteson, author of the recently published book “A Simple Choice,” has spoken to a number of industry groups including RPA and Quality Service Contractors. His lunchtime address will be just one highlight of the event that also will include an RPA business meeting, radiant and business classes, panel discussions on alternative energy sources, a trade show and a golf outing to raise money for the RPA Scholarship Fund.

Among other highlights, PM Hydronics Editor John Siegenthaler will lead the Radiant Precision class May 5 and engineer Bill Shady will discuss Radiant Architecture May 6.  Panels of industry experts will discuss geothermal systems May 6 and solar thermal systems May 7.

“We’re going to be breaking new ground with sessions that we haven’t done before with much more ‘visioneering’ about what we see in the future for our members and what we see as radiant’s place in the HVAC industry,” RPA Executive Director Ted Lowe said. “We will present a very ambitious schedule of educational breakout sessions in a beautiful location that’s reasonably priced.”
