Be sure you make the most of your time in Albuquerque! The courses and exams are not included in Convention Registration, but you can register for both the SPFA PCP courses/exams and the Convention at the same time.

Ty Pennington, the Keynote Speaker at Sprayfoam 2015, might have gotten into the construction industry by chance. But, being involved in SPF and supporting its growth is a conscious, specific endeavor he made after first-hand experiences with it during his time on "Extreme Makeover – Home Edition." He'll be taking a unique approach to his Keynote Address during the General Session on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 8-10 a.m., so be prepared!

Join SPFA and industry peers at the premier celebratory event honoring innovative and trail-blazing contractors and their projects.

The winners will be revealed and recognized during the 10th Annual Contractor Awards Luncheon, Wednesday, Jan. 28, 12:30-2 p.m.
