All new! By popular demand, we present the first-ever forum designed exclusively for contracting businesses that design, install and maintain refrigeration systems. The Refrigeration Contracting Roundtable has been developed in cooperation with refrigeration contractors from all over the country, who told us they wanted a meeting of their own — and they also told us what they want to talk about.

This interactive session will bring the top refrigeration contracting firms together for a day and a half for intense conversations and learning sessions designed to help refrigeration contractors succeed in an environment of rapidly changing regulations, equipment and refrigerants.

Read below to learn more about the special topics and panels being assembled for the Refrigeration Contracting Roundtable. You can also check out the full schedule of events. Don’t forget to sign up today (the sooner you register, the more you save) and make your hotel reservations.

Roundtable Topics & Speakers

Opening Session
According to Peter Powell, refrigeration editor for the Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News, today refrigeration contracting is ALL about refrigerants and regulations. He’ll go over the changes in each area that refrigeration contractors must be prepared to understand, right now.

Service Agreements for Refrigeration Systems
Many companies use service agreements to balance out down time. But service agreements can be your most profitable base of customers. This session will help you design your service agreement programs to ensure the maximum profit.

Refrigerant Management to Maximize Profits
If you’re like most contractors, you have more different types of refrigerant than you can count. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Learn how to reduce and manage your refrigerants to save you time and help make you money.

Energy Efficiency to Stay Ahead of the Game
Discover the latest technologies for improving refrigeration efficiency — and more importantly, the practical realities surrounding them, and what customers are really looking for in the “energy efficiency” arena (and how you can sell it to them).

The Right Equipment for the Right Job
We all know not every piece of equipment is alike. But how are we supposed to figure out what to use when? Learn how to evaluate pieces individually and within a system to maintain efficiency and quality.

Emerging Applications – Medicine and Healthcare
With an aging population and a new, untested healthcare system coming down the pike, medical-related refrigeration systems have already begun an unprecedented expansion. This session will explore existing and emerging opportunities for refrigeration contractors all around the country.
