With a theme of “attain new heights of success,” the next PCA Expo is set for February 3 to 7, 2025 at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“This three-day conference has become a must for like-minded contractors looking to advance their careers while also contributing to the professionalization of the trade,” say the event organizers at the Painting Contractors Association (PCA). “Whether it’s a piece of business advice, a fresh perspective or a mentorship opportunity, Expo leaves a lasting impression on entrepreneurs.”
PCA Expo offers a chance to network with successful paint pros from across the country, as well as participate in PaintED Talks, Peer-to-Peer Contractor Round Tables, panel discussions and other educational opportunities.

What pros say about the event
“Attending the PCA Expo was a pivotal moment in my career,” says contractor Leah Baum. “As the owner of Paint Baum, PCA Expo provided invaluable insights, connections, and inspiration. The workshops were informative, offering the latest industry trends and business strategies. Networking with fellow contractors and industry leaders created a supportive community that has opened doors to new opportunities. The PCA Expo has been instrumental in our growth, and I highly recommend it to any painting contractor looking to excel.”
Veteran painting contractor Daniel Ross agrees.
“Since I joined in about 1989, I have probably been to 25 of Expos,” he says. “This last Expo was by far and away the very best I have ever attended. The current Board of Directors and the many volunteer committee members have done an amazing job. The Expo provided attendees with more tangible resources and educational opportunities that companies and individuals could implement soon after Expo. It also provided access to people and companies that can assist in the implementation. I came away impressed with how much the PCA has to offer to educate, train, and help their members grown and prosper.”
