Star visits four locations in October

UK: Star Refrigeration’s National Roadshow is hitting the road again in October, visiting venues in Sheffield, Bristol, Glasgow and London.

The 2017 Star Roadshow follows a similar successful event in 2013, with experts from Star Refrigeration presenting a programme of free-to-attend CPD-accredited seminars. Topics to be addressed this year include the F-gas regulations, energy efficiency, natural refrigerants, waste heat and regulatory updates.

The 2017 Roadshow kicks off on 17 October at the Magna Science Centre in Sheffield, then travels to Bristol’s Aerospace Museum on 18 October, London on 19 October at the Canada Water Culture Space, before completing the tour at the Science Museum in Glasgow on 25 October.

Each event will start at 08.30 with breakfast followed by five CPD presentations and Q&A sessions. The seminars will aim to finish by 11.00 and there will then be an hour for customers to arrange meetings with members of the Star team for further discussion.

The event is free but Star says that tickets will be in high demand. Anybody intending to attend should register at www.2017roadshow.eventbrite.co.uk.
