Historically, Maui, Hawaii has been a favorite convention site for SMACNA members. This year proved no different with more than 1,400 people attending the association’s 65th annual convention Oct. 19–23.
The convention combined a mix of educational sessions, business, and entertainment. Closing out the convention was the exciting rock band, Huey Lewis and The News.
