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.

After the talks, the event will transform into an after-show party, during which participants can enjoy a cocktail dinner on the museum’s terrace with riverside view, as well as a special EBM-Papst welcome drink designed for the event.

This year’s Eurovent Summit will see a particular focus on southern European markets. Next to the Innovation/HUB, highlights include a welcome reception by the Eurovent Association president, a dedicated workshop for installers in Spanish by the Spanish federation CONAIF, and the Spanish Industry Symposium organised by AEFYT and AFEC (in English and Spanish).
