Brent Davidson runs the U.S. Heat Pump Summit, and organizing it puts him in constant conversation with the manufacturers, distributors, and contractors shaping where this market goes next.

In this episode, Peter Troast and Brent talk about the state of the heat pump market and what sets the Summit apart from every other event on the calendar: it's built squarely around the contractor. The people on stage are contractors having real success with this equipment, and they're remarkably candid about how they do it, right down to their numbers. A business track and a technical track run side by side, small hosted conversation tables let attendees dig into the topics they actually came for, and the density of people who want to do this work right is unlike anything you'll find at a distributor training.

The fourth annual U.S. Heat Pump Summit runs September 15-16 in Worcester, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. The conference has extended a limited number of free tickets to High Performance Edge listeners: grab one at [usheatpumpsummit.com/exclusive](https://www.usheatpumpsummit.com/exclusive) while they last.
