On Thursday, February 5 at 2:00pm EST, Cabling Installation & Maintenance will host an online gathering via Zoom, open to anyone who wishes to share their memories of the late Harry J. Pfister, the industry icon who passed away in late January.
There is no preregistration for this event. Participants can join at this Zoom login link at the time of the gathering—2:00pm EST Thursday, February 5. Participation is limited to 300 individuals. If the gathering reaches that number and some are unable to attend, we will pursue the possibility of hosting a second event at a later date.
Our request of participants is to join the meeting ready to share either personal memories of Harry, or ways in which his impact on the industry has affected you. This being 2026, I feel it necessary to ask that political statements or characterizations of any kind be left out of the discussion. Harry J. Pfister united tens of thousands of individuals throughout the industry by virtue of the initiatives and opportunities he originated. We look forward to hosting a chorus of voices unified in praise for the man and his life’s work.
