Ninth annual ServiceTitan Elite Trades Championship Series brings top tradespeople to West Palm Beach on all-expenses paid trip to compete for more than $250,000 in prizes.

WHAT: There are approximately 15 million tradespeople in the United States yet demand for the trades has skyrocketed due to a shortage of tradespeople. The ninth annual ServiceTitan Elite Trades Championship Series (ETCS) celebrates the nation’s top tradespeople who have traditionally not received the recognition they deserve in this series of four competitions. Bragging rights as the top tradesperson in the country for their field and a share of more than $250,000 in cash and sponsor-provided prizes are on the line.

WHO: About 50 elite professionals and apprentices will participate in one of four ETCS competitions. Select competitors will be available for in-person and virtual interviews throughout both days in addition to:

• Boston University plumber Craig Childress, who became the event’s first-ever crossover champion at last year’s event

“When people think of competing for hundreds of thousands of dollars at a national championship, they don’t often think about the trades,” said Tom Howard, ServiceTitan vice president of customer experience. “The ServiceTitan Elite Championship Series promotes our mission to empower and support hardworking contractors everywhere.
