The event, which takes place on the evening of September 26 in Seville, Spain, will welcome high-ranking speakers from Europe and the US to present in a TED-style manner. TED-style (Technology, Entertainment, Design) talks are concise and delivered without notes, from memory.

Speakers and topics of the Innovation/HUB include Connectivity as a key to smart solutions by Karsten Fuchs, director market segment VAC, EBM-Papst; Cybersecurity for connected HVACR equipment by Christian Ellwein, CEO, Kriwan; The evolution of filtration by Joost Verlaan, vice president, AFPRO Filters; Time for smart equipment by Javier de Bordons, director product & technology knowledge, Johnson Controls; Cybersecurity is the new safety for the 21st century by Ken Modeste, director of connected technologies, UL.
