“The Built for Speed conference is designed to help women gain the knowledge, confidence and connections they need to accelerate their careers and strengthen the HVACR industry,” said Women in HVACR President Jane Sidebottom. “Carrie, Bryce and Michelle each bring a distinct perspective to challenges women and business leaders face every day. Their sessions will give attendees strategies they can apply long after the conference ends.”

Fraser, vice president of marketing at Nexstar Network, will present “Fearless Leadership: Cultivating Courage and Confidence in Decision-Making.” Drawing from her experience leading an organizational evolution, Fraser will discuss how leaders can recognize when growth requires transformation. 

Batts, a business consultant, certified career coach and co-founder of Career Collective, will lead “Why Women Leave (And How to Build Teams They Stay For).” The session will examine why recruiting more women into HVACR is only part of the workforce solution. Batts will explore how leadership, workplace culture and hiring practices affect whether women remain with an organization and have opportunities to advance. 

Myers, the founder and CEO of Pink Callers, will present “Integration in Motion: Leading Through Life’s Transitions.” Her session will challenge the idea that professional and personal success requires perfect balance. Instead, Myers will demonstrate how women can create alignment during changing seasons of life. She will discuss energy management, delegation and identifying which responsibilities are nonnegotiable.

“These sessions reflect the mission of Women in HVACR,” Sidebottom said. “It’s about helping women lead boldly while giving organizations the tools to build stronger, more supportive workplaces. Attendees will hear honest experiences, learn proven approaches and see that meaningful growth often begins with the courage to make a change.”

The 2026 Built for Speed conference will be held Sept. 27-29 in Indianapolis
