NAOHSM's 57th Annual Convention and Trade Show moves to Providence, Rhode Island, May 23-27th, 2010

SuperHeroes of Service . . . a tribute to the men and women that make our industry shine.

Providence, RI is the site for NAOHSM's 57th Annual Convention & Trade Show. Attendees will find that Providence is a lovely city that is conveniently located off of Route 95. Travel to the city is easy by air or even train. The city offers a mix of modern and old world charm. We’ve secured a room block with the Westin Hotel. The Westin is attached to the R. I. Convention Center, parking garage and Providence Center, where you can shop, eat or enjoy a movie - all under one roof. So make your reservation today at the Westin or call 1-800.WESTINS and reference NAOHSM Block.

NAOHSM welcomes everyone in the HVAC or Plumbing Trades to attend our annual event. Technicians, front line personnel and certainly managers and owners alike will find that there is something for everyone in the way of Education, an opportunity to see what New Products are on the market, spend time with Industry Friends and more.
