It would be an interesting contest to determine which trade organization in the PHC field puts on the second best conventions. In combined style and substance, though, the Mechanical Contractors Association of America laps everyone else.
Its last convention of the 20th century, held Feb. 21-25 at Florida’s Walt Disney World, featured a record-setting attendance of more than 2,300 registrants, including 400-500 kids who tagged along with parents or grandparents to a place designed with kids in mind. Plenty of studious adults benefited as well from 10-1/2 hours of MCAA educational programming by trainers from The Disney Institute, who shared some of the business methodology behind this world-renowned organization.
