Latin America. The massive response of the HVAC industry, gathered during what was a successful twentieth edition of Refriaméricas, fulfilled all expectations and is a clear indication of the growth and positioning of this international event.
Among the factors that today allow us to make a more than satisfactory balance we highlight the wide variety of brands and exhibiting companies, the high quality standards of the projects that competed in open competition for the coveted CALA Award and the first-class academic agenda.
The academic program, the cornerstone of RefriAmericas, featured several presentations and workshops covering key topics such as energy efficiency, decarbonization, Artificial Intelligence, innovations in refrigeration and automation. The inclusion of presentations in English expanded accessibility for international attendees, providing a wealth of knowledge and empowering professionals to stay ahead of industry trends.
Participation on the rise
Similarly, it is worth highlighting the constant influx of public during the two days of the event and, of course, the atmosphere of total camaraderie experienced during the Fiesta Alegría.
This year, attendance at Refriaméricas increased by 40% compared to the previous year, with more than 2,000 industry professionals from around the world attending. Thus, the fair venue was full of activity, with more than 100 exhibitors from 6 countries, as well as key sector organizations, such as Women in HVAC/R and ABRAVA.
