Bert walks around and asks symposium attendees and speakers what they enjoyed most about the 3rd Annual HVACR Training Symposium at the Kalos HQ.
We had speakers like Trevor Matthews, Ty Branaman, and Joe Shearer give presentations and answer questions on panels. Speakers and attendees alike were grateful for the opportunities to teach others, learn, and meet many new people from all walks of life. Although the training was the main draw to the symposium, most people seemed to enjoy the networking opportunities offered by the symposium.
Many first-timers and repeat attendees alike came out to the symposium and had a great time. We were excited to hear their thoughts and are already looking forward to next year's symposium.

Trevor matthews, what's the final day at the symposium, have you had fun man? I am super excited. This is the best event of the year for me for sure. So it's a community for me and what i love about everything from meeting the people from sitting in on advance. Listen to some of the top speakers in the industry.
This has been great nice, nice cool. What what has been a highlight like if you had to pick one highlight other than me personally, just learning about customer service, and you know how to talk to your customers? Listen to jim bergman. Talking about evacuation. You know i knew evacuation, but every time you take a training, you learn something new, you know and that really excites me.
You know i have an opportunity to to educate others as well. I was really happy that i had the opportunity to do that again this year. So nice love it. It's cool all right, we're making our way through our lunch line, we're going to find out rick.
You got something you want to say, um sure why not? Okay, have you enjoyed your time here? Yeah it's been a great day, great, okay, all right all right any i mean all the trainings are really good. I think you always learn something new, even when you already know a lot about that particular subject. But really for me, the highlight is the people you're meeting new people from all walks of life and uh? You know it's. The networking at this event is invaluable.
I mean it's you're going to meet people that can essentially change your life, whether it be from a technical standpoint or just a mentor standpoint, or even a change in the career standpoint. So this will be the place to run a mentor and i've already exchanged. So many numbers with people in different walks of the trade since i've been here this year - and this is the third year for me and making good contacts again. It's really yeah, that's cool all right.
Let's move to this lunch line and find some fun aiden how's. It going how's, it feel to be last in line for the food it feels awesome. Well, how does it feel to be second last in line feels even better now all right, well you're, moving up in the world already enjoying the symposium, i am yeah yeah.
