United States. After a forced pause in 2021, AHR Expo returned, the fair in which the HVAC/R industry meets. The event took place in Las Vegas, from January 31 to February 2, with a total of 30,678 attendees.
The day, which took place in the central and north pavilions of the Las Vegas Convention Center, featured 1,573 exhibitors who presented new technologies, products and ideas. Mark Stevens, Show Manager at the AHR Expo, commented on the current situation and the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic: "The industry has had some major ups and downs in recent years and we, as a community, needed to feel the inspiration that comes when we come together under one roof."
In addition, Steves added regarding the AHR Expo 2022 that exceeded expectations. "Our exhibitors, attendees, associations, speakers and everyone involved made this event one of the most special we have ever organized. If you were there, it was hard to overlook the camaraderie. This industry is strong and we are back on track to meet the challenges that lie ahead."
The educational program exceeded 80 sessions
A relevant part of the event was the continuity of the 'Education Program', a strategy that offered attendees more than 80 free admission sessions, where industry experts presented their knowledge on a wide variety of topics. New this year was an industry panel discussion moderated by renowned podcaster Bryan Orr, attended by panelists: Mick Schwedler, President of ASHRAE; Stephen Yurek, President and Director of AHRI; Talbot Gee, CEO of HARDI; Roberta MacGillivray, President of NAFA; and Dominick Guarino, Executive Director of NCI.
