Bridging the Gap

The chimney and venting industry has a long legacy of sharing knowledge and experience with the next generation. It's a tradition we're all proud of – where experienced sweeps pass down their knowledge and the next generation brings new ideas and energy.

The 2025 NCSG Convention & Trade Show is all about that connection. With the theme Bridging the Gap, we're embracing the idea that different generations can learn from one another to build a stronger, more successful future for the industry.

This year, we're honoring the legacy of those who came before us while strengthening our businesses, our teams, and the industry we're all passionate about.

Join us March 4-8 in Cincinnati and be part of the conversation.
