Speaking Opportunities
Below are details regarding the three main types of sessions that take place during the show. Note that speaking engagements at the AHR Expo are reserved for exhibiting companies and specially invited organizations. There are no opportunities for outside companies to participate on their own.
New Product Theaters
Open to all exhibitors is the opportunity to give a 20-minute product presentation in one of the New Product Theaters set up on the show floor. Exhibitors (and co-exhibitors) with signed contracts and a deposit payment on file are invited to request a time slot to give a presentation on a new product or technology they are showcasing in their booth. Time slots are limited, but we do our best to accommodate as many interested exhibitors as possible. There is no cost to participate.
Free Industry Seminar Program
The free industry seminar program at the show is made up of seminars hosted by our endorsing associations. It is up to each organization where they source their topics and speakers, with the single condition that speakers may not be from companies that are industry manufacturers who are not exhibiting in the current show.
The soft deadline for submissions is typically in mid-August. If you are a member or otherwise connected to one of our endorsing associations or their cause, they may be willing to host your seminar. Show Management does not assist in connecting interested parties with our endorsing organizations.
ASHRAE Winter Conference
The ASHRAE Winter Conference, held at a local hotel in conjunction with the AHR Expo, has its own call for seminars/papers.
