Serving New Haven & Fairfield Counties, Darien, Stamford, Greenwich
Greenwich, CT Painting Contractor HIC#600605
Join painting contractors from across the Northeast for a high-impact day of training, breakout sessions, networking, and real-world business strategies designed to help you grow, scale, and build a more profitable painting company.



Most painting contractors spend their days working in their businesses. December 8 is an opportunity to spend a full day working on your business.
At this event, you will:
Learn alongside other painting company owners.
Hear directly from proven industry leaders.
Participate in interactive, small-group breakout sessions.
Exchange real-world ideas and leave with practical strategies you can implement immediately.
Note: This isn’t an eight-hour sales pitch. It’s a day built around education, craftsmanship, business growth, networking, and helping painting contractors become better owners and operators.
BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Contractors will be divided into three groups and rotate through separate classrooms. By the end of the day, every contractor will have attended all three sessions.
🎨 Craftsmanship — Jeff Christman
Field-focused training on craftsmanship, quality standards, execution, and creating the kind of finished product that generates referrals and customers for life.
📈 Marketing & Business Growth — Bob Ruffalo
Practical strategies for generating opportunities, strengthening your brand, creating demand, and building a stronger painting business.

A smaller, more personal breakout with Nick focused on key leadership topics, giving contractors an opportunity for direct teaching, discussion, and direct Q&A
