ACR Show 2016 is 85% sold

ACR-Show-2106-logoUK: With three months to go to the ACR Show 2016, latest figures from the organiser reveal that the show is already 85% full.

With a larger footprint than the last event two years ago, sales for the ACR Show 2016 are said to be ahead of 2014. With 76 exhibitors already booked, only around 450m² of the 2600m² lettable stand space remains.

Despite the decision to open the show up to heating and ventilating exhibitors, the exhibitors’ list reveals that it remains predominantly a refrigeration and air conditioning event.

In addition to being able to view the latest technological developments, the event will, once again, provide a broad-based seminar programme. The Institute of Refrigeration is to hold its annual conference during the show and there are a further three CPD accredited seminar theatres to visit: the Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Theatre, sponsored by Klima Therm, the Chemours-sponsored Refrigeration and Cooling Theatre and the Training & Careers Theatre, sponsored by Toshiba Carrier.

Online visitor pre-registration for the event, which takes place at the NEC from 16-18 February, is now open here
