United States. The AHR Expo will return to Atlanta for the first time since 2001 for its 2019 Show at the Georgia World Congress Center. HVAC/R accounts for billions of dollars in revenue and is a key economic driver for the state of Georgia, with projections from the U.S. Department of Labor indicating that it will see growth of nearly 20 percent in the coming years.
"We are thrilled to be back in this great city for the first time in 17 years. Atlanta, particularly the Georgia World Congress Center, is a hub for some of the nation's largest trade shows, a list that, for 2019, includes AHR. We are excited to return to this region and invite professionals from around the world to experience its energy and rhythm," the event's official statement reads.
The AHR Expo gives more than 60,000 attendees an exclusive opportunity to be at the forefront of experiencing and adopting the latest applications and products in the industry, as well as the opportunity to learn about emerging technologies before they become mainstream. More than 2,100 companies exhibit from 35 countries represented, making the three-day Show an opportunity to network with enough potential business partners to develop the business prospects for an entire year.
The AHR receives consistent feedback at each Show indicating that it is the place for the best education of industry trends and practices, as well as a source for professionals to engage with others in the business of all degrees and trades.
"The AHR Expo is the heartbeat of the industry. Everyone who is here is present, whether exhibiting or attending," said Kevin Bergin, director of Aspen Pumps Inc. at the 2018 Salon. "We came to the Show to control the pulse of the industry and to have the opportunity to build relationships with new and existing customers in the U.S. This Show allows us to see how people think about the coming year. Based on the [2018 Show], we're seeing a lot of confidence, and in our product category, the industry continues to grow and that's a huge opportunity for us in the United States."
Atlanta is home to many popular tourist attractions that can be seen outside the Show, including the World of Coca-Cola, Centennial Olympic Park, and the world-famous Georgia Aquarium. The return of the 2019 AHR Expo to Atlanta presents a great opportunity for professionals from around the world to visit the Southeast region and experience it firsthand.
