About the CPIA
Founded by President of Hester Painting & Decorating (Skokie, Illinois), Steve Hester, and President of Precision Painting & Decorating (Bensenville, Illinois), Aaron Moore, the CPIA is the first and only trade association created exclusively for commercial painting professionals.

In total, the CPIA member companies represent over $1.4 billion in yearly commercial project work and are large buyers of products and services specific to the commercial coatings market.
Early Bird Registration
While the agenda for the conference is slated to be announced in the coming weeks, the association promises guaranteed facetime with top commercial painting contractors and coatings suppliers, educational sessions, and meetings between leadership teams of some of the most successful commercial painting businesses in the world.
The event also promises world-class group activities, which include golf at one of the finest courses in the country and a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon, courtesy of The Sherwin-Williams Company! (Be sure to arrive Sunday, Oct. 9, to participate in Monday-morning activities.)
For those who love golf and want to stay an extra day, there is limited space for a golfing activity on Friday, Oct. 14, at the Wolf Creek Golf Club in Mesquite, Nevada.
“When I told my commercial division staff to save the dates for the upcoming CPIA Leadership Conference in Las Vegas, one of them asked if it was something he should be attending. I told him, the best minds of the commercial painting industry are in one location for three days sharing great ideas that can be brought back and put into action immediately,” said Steve Hester, CPIA Co-Founder.
“In addition, there are tons of opportunities to network and meet these people and develop friendships and connections for potential future collaborations. In short – YES! You definitely should plan on clearing your calendar and attending!”
Whether interested contractors and suppliers are CPIA members or are just eager to know more about the association and its many benefits, the CPIA welcomes all commercial painting contractors and related professionals, including architects, engineers, interior designers and asset owners to register to its unique event.
Early Bird registration for the CPIA Leadership Conference can be accessed here. The discounted registration opportunity will close on June 15.
Registrants are welcome to invite colleagues and a spouse or significant other. A special rate is offered for spouses/significant others who are not in the commercial painting business. While they will not attend conference sessions, they can enjoy meals, recreational activities, receptions and all the resort has to offer.
