Mother Nature Can’t Stop High Attendance for ASHRAE
Conference, AHR Expo.
ATLANTA—Even Winter Storm Janus couldn’t deter the
thousands of attendees of the ASHRAE 2014 Winter
Conference. In spite of the snow storm, the Conference,
held Jan. 18-22, in New York City., saw over 2,800
attendees.
 Additionally,
the ASHRAE co-sponsored AHR Expo, held in conjunction
with the Conference, saw record numbers. According to
Show organizer International Exposition Company, a total
of over 61,000 attendees (42,991 visitors and 18,219
exhibitor personnel) registered for the 2014 AHR Expo.
HVACR professionals from all 50 states and over 130
countries braved the elements to see the latest products
and technologies on display from over 1,900 exhibiting
companies from around the world. Pending verification,
these figures make the 2014 AHR Expo the event with the
highest registered attendance in the history of the
exposition.
The Conference’s Technical Program ranked high in
attendance, addressing trends in tall building,
international design and building information systems,
to name just a few topics. Individual top-attended
