“Bet On Yourself” Proves A Winning Theme for Women Leaders in the Trades

The Women in HVACR (WHVACR) 22nd Annual Conference, held October 6-8, 2025, in Las Vegas, brought together trades leaders from across the country for three days of connections, learning, and inspiration. The event’s theme – “Bet On Yourself” – proved to be a winning hand for tradeswomen who took Vegas by storm!

As a Champion-level sponsor of WHVACR, Nexstar Network was honored to support the much-anticipated event again this year. Team members hosted a booth, networked with attendees, and participated in numerous educational and engaging sessions that filled a very robust conference schedule.

Carrie attended the event alongside Ilse Larsen, Nexstar’s Director of Strategic Partnerships. Together, they caught up with members, Strategic Partners, and trades professionals from across the country.

“One of the most powerful things I see at this event is the exchange between young professionals and seasoned veterans,” Carrie added. “There’s no ego, just genuine curiosity, and mutual respect. It’s incredible to see decades of experience shared alongside fresh perspectives, with both sides learning from each other. That kind of openness is what makes this organization so impactful.”

Nexstar remains committed to helping champion the growth and development of women in the trades, Carrie explained, a mission that aligns with WHVACR’s focus on education, mentorship, and leadership.

“Watching this organization expand its reach and deepen its impact has been thrilling,” Carrie said. “It’s an event I look forward to being part of every year.”
