The National Association of Oil Heating Service Managers will host its 56th Annual Convention & Trade Show, May 17-21, 2009, at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center in Hershey, PA. The theme of the 2009 annual event will be “Imagine,” as in “imagine the possibilities and opportunities.”

Service managers and techs will have access to many technical education options that the Association is offering in Hershey. From learning the latest service and efficiency techniques for helping improve businesses, to education about solar and geothermal systems ― and everything in between. The basics to more advanced technical applications will be discussed, and many classes offer NORA CEUs and NATE CEUs.

NAOHSM’s trade show floor will include all of the energy products on the market today all in one place. Oil-fired units take center stage, but alternative energy products will also be on display.

Monday night’s popular Opening Reception will provide attendees another opportunity to “imagine,” the group says. In addition to excellent food and beverages, NAOHSM has planned for roundtable discussions for brainstorming on topics ranging from the current state of the industry to the energy needs of the future. The very best ideas will be placed in a time capsule to be opened on the association’s 60th Anniversary.
