What makes ACCA Conference & Expo different, and how we build for it
ACCA's conference is built for the people who own and run residential, light commercial and commercial HVACR contracting businesses, and ACCA says more than 85% of attendees are business owners.The 2027 edition sits next to Washington, D.C., so it opens with an optional Advocacy Day when contractors meet members of Congress, then two days of education in four tracks and a compact Expo Hall. Floor time is short, two and a half hours on Thursday and Friday morning, and the people walking it decide what their companies buy.
Equipment, software, financing and service programs that grow revenue per technician and per call, explained by someone who knows a service business.
Tools and systems for dispatch, maintenance agreements, training and hiring, with time to compare a few vendors.
Partners who can serve many locations and commercial work, from equipment lines to distribution.
Your team in National Harbor
How Purple runs ACCA 2027 at the Gaylord National
National Harbor is an East Coast show, so the booth is usually fabricated at Fishkill, NY and trucked south, with Las Vegas as the second option. Freight follows the Exhibitor Service Manual in ACCA's portal to the warehouse or the hotel docks. On site, our project manager directs the install using the labor ACCA and the Gaylord National require and packs out after the Friday noon close.
Inside ACCA Conference & Expo 2027
Rules that shape your ACCA Conference & Expo booth
ACCA prices Expo space at $50 per sq. ft. for current members and $65 for all other exhibitors. We size the booth to the budget first, since moving from 10×20 to 10×30 adds $5,000 in member space.
Every booth includes up to four Expo Floor passes, and staff who want sessions, meals and events need a $699 Exhibitor Full Conference Pass. We plan counters and storage for a team of four.
The Exhibitor Service Manual, shipping, drayage and lead retrieval setup are in ACCA's Conference Harvester portal. Our project manager reads the manual first and books freight to its dates.
Programs worth planning for
An optional program on March 10, 2027, when contractors meet members of Congress after ACCA training; it brings policy-minded owners to the conference.
A sponsor option that puts your booth on the attendee bingo card, driving card-holders to the Expo Hall; pricing is in ACCA's 2027 prospectus.
Sponsored stage time in ACCA's education program, alongside four tracks: Business Operations, People, Growth and Industry Insights.
ACCA 2027 is the HVACR contractor owners' conference with a compact Expo Hall; choose it over MCAA or AHR Expo when your buyers own residential and light commercial service businesses and you want five focused Expo hours.

02 Booths & pricing for ACCA Conference & Expo 2027
ACCA 2027 booth cost per square foot and what a booth includes
ACCA sells Expo Hall space by the square foot: $50 for ACCA members and $65 for nonmembers in 2027, so a 10×20 costs $10,000 for a member before the build. For a first ACCA we suggest a 10×20 with one equipment or software demo; a 20×20 island suits an equipment brand that wants a seated owner area.
A back wall with the owner benefit in large type, one condenser, controller or tablet demo at the front and a counter for scanning badges.

The booth we would build for ACCA Conference & Expo 2027
The owner's margin booth for HVACR
ACCA's buyers own service companies and have five Expo hours. The booth speaks to the owner, not the technician: what a unit, platform or program does to revenue per truck, callbacks and agreement renewals, proven by one demo and backed by a place to sit for five minutes.
Margin wall
A back wall with three owner numbers, such as install hours, callback rate and agreement renewals, beside one clean product image.
Unit and cut-away
A heat pump, furnace or controller on a low platform at the aisle, with a cut-away or open panel so owners see what their techs would see.
Owner bench
Two stools and a counter for a five-minute talk on pricing, financing or dealer programs, kept out of the walking line.
The demo
Show a service call from booking to invoice, or an install from box to commissioning, in under four minutes, with the numbers updating on a screen. Tie it to the Business Operations or Growth track sessions the owner just left.
The meetings
The Expo has no meeting rooms in the booth package; book owner meetings for Thursday 1 to 3:30 p.m. and Friday morning, and use the Awards Reception and evening networking events to follow up. A bingo card square keeps card-holders coming back.
More revenue per truck. Fewer callbacks.

ACCA Conference & Expo 2027 floor rules at Gaylord National: hours, passes and vendor events
ACCA's Expo Hall sits inside the Gaylord National resort and is sold by the square foot to HVACR suppliers. The 2027 prospectus and exhibitor resources set a five-hour floor, staff passes per booth and limits on side events.
| Rule | What the manual says | What it means for your booth |
|---|---|---|
| 01Space pricing | $50 per sq ft for ACCA members and $65 for nonmembers in 2027 source | Space is sold by area, so a 200 sq ft member booth runs $10,000 before the build, and footprint drives every other line of the budget. |
| 02Expo hours | Thursday, March 11, 1 to 3:30 p.m. and Friday, March 12, 9:30 a.m. to noon source | Five floor hours mean the booth must make its case to an owner at a glance, and dismantle starts right after the Friday noon close. |
| 03Staff passes | Up to 4 Expo Floor staff passes per booth at $0, more on request; Exhibitor Full Conference Passes $699 each source | Four people can work the floor at no charge, so we design the counter and demo station for a team of that size. |
| 04Vendor events | ACCA does not permit additional outside events hosted by vendors; Dinearound hosting on Thursday, March 11, at 8 p.m. costs $3,000 source | Client dinners go through ACCA's Dinearound program, so the booth hands out the dinner invitation instead of a separate party flyer. |
| 05Bingo squares | Expo Hall Bingo Card squares are sold only to exhibitors: 24 squares at $1,250 each source | A bingo square gives contractor owners a reason to stop, so we leave counter room at the aisle for the card check. |
| 06Service manual | Exhibitor Service Manual, booth logistics, shipping, drayage and lead retrieval open in the Conference Harvester portal after a booth is reserved source | Freight and drayage dates arrive only after booking, so we reserve early and pull the resort delivery windows the day the portal opens. |

Case study · KLEEMANN
KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition
KLEEMANN combined real equipment with clear digital explanations so visitors understood a complex product in a short visit, which is the job of an HVACR equipment or controls booth at ACCA, where owners have five Expo hours and want the business case fast.
Read the KLEEMANN case study All case studies →“From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. They designed and built a beautiful trade show exhibit that exceeded my expectations and helped our company stand out. We received many compliments on our booth.”

04 Designing for HVACR equipment manufacturers, suppliers, software and service partners selling to heating and air conditioning contractor owners at ACCA Conference & Expo
Designing an ACCA 2027 booth for five Expo hours
1Five hours, so lead with one idea
The ACCA Expo Hall is open 1 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday and 9:30 a.m. to noon Friday. We build the booth around one promise an owner can read in passing, with one demo that proves it, because no one has time for three.
2Hotel carpet under the glass atrium
The expo is inside the Gaylord National resort, so freight moves through hotel docks and service corridors and booths sit on carpet. We plan rolling cases, crates sized to the hotel's doors and drayage per the Exhibitor Service Manual.
3Equipment that sells a business case
ACCA buyers own the business, so a heat pump or controller on display needs its numbers: install hours, callbacks, financing and margin per job. We put those beside the unit, not on a screen in the back.
Badge scans for passes
Every booth includes up to four Expo Floor passes, and Full Conference Passes are $699 each for exhibitors. We design the staffing area for the four people your passes cover, with a scanning counter at the aisle.

Where you could be at ACCA Conference & Expo 2027
ACCA 2027 runs inside one resort, and exhibitors reach contractor owners in a few set places. This is how each shapes a booth, from ACCA's 2027 exhibit and sponsor pages.
Expo Hall
100+ exhibitors, booths sold at $50 or $65 per sq. ft., open Thursday 1–3:30 p.m. and Friday 9:30 a.m.–noon.
Our advice Two short sessions: plan one walk-up demo and one booked meeting slot each day.
Mainstage and sessions
Four education tracks over three days, with Mainstage Sessions and speaking opportunities sold as sponsorships.
Our advice A sponsored session can send owners to the booth during the next Expo window.
Bingo card and networking events
Bingo Card Squares, food and beverage, evening events and the Awards Reception are sponsor options.
Our advice A bingo square brings each card-holder to your booth at least once.

ACCA 2027 Expo hours, freight and Gaylord National planning

ACCA Conference & Expo exhibitor questions
ACCA 2027 Conference & Expo questions exhibitors ask

March 10 to 12, 2027, per ACCA, inside the Gaylord National resort on the Potomac waterfront at National Harbor, Maryland. Advocacy Day and professional development workshops are on March 10, and the Expo Hall opens March 11.
What are the ACCA 2027 Expo Hall hours?
Thursday, March 11, 1 to 3:30 p.m., and Friday, March 12, 9:30 a.m. to noon, per ACCA. That is five hours of floor time in total.
How much is a booth at ACCA 2027?
$50 per square foot for ACCA members and $65 per square foot for nonmembers, per ACCA. A 10×20 is $10,000 for a member or $13,000 for a nonmember in space alone, and every booth includes up to four Expo Floor passes.
How many people attend ACCA's conference?
ACCA lists 500+ contracting leaders and 100+ exhibitors for ACCA 2027, and says more than 85% of attendees are business owners.
Who attends ACCA 2027?
HVACR contractor owners and leaders from residential, light commercial and commercial and industrial firms, plus consolidators, design/build firms, institutional contractors, wholesale distributors and manufacturers, per ACCA.
How many exhibitor passes come with an ACCA booth?
Up to four Expo Floor passes at no charge with every booth, per ACCA. Exhibitor Full Conference Passes, which add sessions, meals and events, cost $699 each.
What is ACCA Advocacy Day?
An optional program on March 10, 2027, when contractors meet members of Congress in Washington, D.C., with training and resources from ACCA beforehand.
What is the hotel rate for ACCA 2027?
$325 plus tax per night at the Gaylord National, plus a $27 nightly resort fee, per ACCA. The block closes February 1, 2027, or sooner if it fills.
Where do we find the ACCA exhibitor manual?
In ACCA's exhibitor portal on Conference Harvester, which holds the Exhibitor Service Manual, booth logistics, shipping and drayage details and lead retrieval setup, per ACCA.
How fast is ACCA 2027 exhibit space selling?
Nearly 40% of the available exhibit space was reserved when ACCA announced booth sales on July 28, 2026, per ACCA's release, so premium locations go early.
Is ACCA worth it for an HVAC software company?
It suits software sold to HVACR business owners, because ACCA says more than 85% of attendees own the business and its tracks cover operations, people and growth. A 10×20 with one live demo fits the five-hour Expo.
What is the difference between ACCA and AHR Expo?
ACCA is an owner-focused conference with 100+ exhibitors and five Expo hours near Washington in March 2027. AHR Expo is the large HVACR trade show with a full exhibition floor for engineers, contractors and distributors.
Can Purple build our ACCA 2027 booth?
Yes. We design and build in Fishkill, NY, close to National Harbor, or in Las Vegas, file the ACCA portal forms and ship per the Exhibitor Service Manual, and our project manager runs setup and dismantle with the labor the show requires.
Before you sign for ACCA Conference & Expo
Five things to ask every builder quoting ACCA Conference & Expo:
- Have you moved freight through the Gaylord National's hotel docks, and how will you handle drayage per ACCA's Exhibitor Service Manual?
- How will you show our equipment's business numbers to owners, not just its specs?
- Can you set up before the Thursday 1 p.m. opening and dismantle right after the Friday noon close?
- Who on your side completes our ACCA portal paperwork, power order and lead retrieval setup?
- Can the same booth go on to AHR Expo or PHCC CONNECT with only a graphics change?
What ACCA Conference & Expo exhibitors ask us
Five Expo hours is not much. Will we get our money back? The hours are short, but ACCA says more than 85% of the people in them own the business. Book meetings ahead for both sessions, keep the booth to one clear demo, and a 10×20 at the member rate of $10,000 in space is a focused spend.
Should we join ACCA before booking? Membership cuts the rate from $65 to $50 per sq. ft., which saves $3,000 on a 10×20 and $6,000 on a 20×20. Associate Members also save 10% on sponsorships, so check the dues against those savings.
We already exhibit at AHR Expo. Why add ACCA? AHR Expo is a broad trade show; ACCA is a small room of contractor owners who decide what their companies buy. The same booth kit can serve both, with a new message for owners at ACCA.
