ASHRAE releases conference programme

USA: The technical programme for ASHRAE’s recently announced Virtual Conference is now available.

With sessions starting June 22 and continuing through to July 2, the technical programme includes eight tracks, with 300 speakers. 

“ASHRAE is excited to re-imagine our annual conference and has proactively created a dynamic, interactive and virtual conference experience, with an affordable registration fee, that makes it accessible to more industry professionals,” said ASHRAE president Darryl K Boyce.

The virtual conference will include 97 technical sessions, updates from ASHRAE leaders, and virtual networking events. Live sessions addressing the latest information relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will take place daily starting June 29.

The virtual conference replaces ASHRAE’s 2020 Annual Conference, originally scheduled to take place in June in Austin, Texas, but cancelled due to the coronavirus.
