Registration is now open for the 2022 ASHRAE Winter Conference on January 29 – February 2. Registration for the conference provides entry to the co-sponsored AHR Expo, held January 31 – February 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“The ASHRAE Winter Conference and AHR Expo bring together the world’s foremost built environment experts, professionals, building owners, and exhibitors in one place,” said 2021–22 ASHRAE President Mick Schwedler, PE, Fellow ASHRAE, LEED AP. “This conference in Las Vegas will mark the Society’s first large in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact and reach of ASHRAE conferences are truly one of a kind. We look forward to providing attendees, both in person and virtual, the resources and business networking to deliver solutions and navigate our rapidly changing building industry landscape.”
For the first time ever, the ASHRAE Winter Conference will be presented in a hybrid format, offering both in-person and virtual options for participation for attendees, providing convenience, and affording global participation with a group of the world’s leading presenters delivering timely and useful industry content.
The conference will feature more than 80 technical sessions with updates from Society leaders, tours, social events, and live-streamed sessions for virtual attendees. Technical sessions will address building performance, energy system integration, international environmental health and IEQ, and challenges and opportunities for industrial and commercial purposes. Conference registration is now open at ashrae.org/2022winter.
ASHRAE is committed to the health and safety of its members and conference attendees. The Society is closely monitoring guidance from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention for both fully vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, the World Health Organization, and local health agencies regarding travel and events.
