Champagne Ballroom

Paris Las Vegas

CEO/Contractor Forum

Sponsored by The Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration NEWS

An ACCA signature event, this is the only forum that brings together the CEOs of leading HVACR manufacturers to meet with you, the contractor. The CEOS take on hard-hitting questions, offer their insight into the current and future HVACR marketplace, and engage in dialogue with each other and the audience.

Conference attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions in advance, and moderator Mike Murphy, publisher of the NEWS, will engage the CEOs in a provocative dialogue. Nothing is off-limits except those questions we can’t legally ask!

Participants in this year’s CEO/Contractor Forum include:

  • Bob McDonough, Carrier
  • Dave Swift, Goodman
  • Gary Michel, Ingersoll Rand
  • Rod Rushing, Johnson Controls
  • Doug Young, Lennox
  • Bill Rau, Mitsubishi
  • Christopher Peel, Rheem
