Colombia. It was fulfilled with enormous organizational success and active participation of attendees to the commercial exhibition and the academic congress, the tenth edition of RefriAméricas, a leading event of industrial and commercial refrigeration in Latin America, which was held at the Plaza Mayor Convention Center, in Medellín, Colombia.
The congress had an academic component supported by an outstanding group of speakers with a very wide experience in the international arena, who spoke about current issues of great relevance to the industry.
This year the congress had the support of entities such as ACAIRE, Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB), Asociación Argentina del Frío (AAFRIO), and the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR).
As a highlight, we must highlight the participation of César Isaza (UPB), Rodnei Peres (Full Guage), Silvio Toro (Froztec), Gildardo Yañez (Grupo Refrigerantes / Ashrae Mexico) and Giovanni Barletta (Emerson) in the VIP Panel: Ten years of evolution of the industry by the hand of RefriAméricas, which srivió as a celebration of the ten years of the event.
There it was possible to elucidate, in a clear way, the evolution and the current state of the industry of the region and, in the same way, possible actions to overcome some of the difficulties, which, to a greater extent, focus on deficiencies in terms of training, more policies and governmental controls, as well as more support and initiatives of associations and university entities in favor of industry professionals.
On the other hand, and also as part of the celebration of the ten years of the event, RefriAméricas made an emotional recognition of the companies that have supported throughout the last decade the organizational effort of Latin Press, Inc., through the magazine ACR LATINOAMÉRICA.
The companies that received the recognition were Danfoss S.A., Full Gauge Controls, Thermo - Coil Ltda., Mueller Industries and Urecon.
During the event it was also announced that next year the congress and commercial exhibition will be held on June 5 and 6, again in the city of Medellín, Colombia.
