What Whole-Home Contractors Gain from BPA’s National Conference
February 19, 2026
Every year, new technology, customer expectations, standards, and workforce changes bring a new landscape to the home performance industry. Contractors are on the front line of these changes.
You are the ones who take these changes and new strategies and turn them into real-world results for the communities you serve. You work with your customers every day to make homes more comfortable, healthy, and efficient. BPA is here to support you in your work by connecting you with a network of contractors who do the same vital home performance work as you.
NHPC’26 is where these connections begin. For 40 years, our national conference has been the home for contractors who are focused on performance, quality, and customer outcomes. The event is designed to help you level up your business, grow as a leader, and sharpen your technical skills.
