2020 IIAR Online Conference & Virtual Expo

The Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent cancellation of your IIAR’s annual conference has impacted all of us in multiple ways and has created the need to come up with a new and different way to deliver as much value as possible to conference attendees and exhibitors. To that end the IIAR Executive Committee and Staff have been working hard on putting together the first-of-its-kind IIAR Online Conference & Virtual Expo.  

Using today’s technologies will allow us to offer the content and provide the education and PDH credits that many conference attendees need to justify their participation in the event. The Online Conference can offer significant benefits to those companies that use the annual conference as a platform to market their products and services.  It will also be designed to offer benefits that could not be provided in the conference and will continue throughout the year.

The Online Conference will reside on the IIAR Website and include a number of new features and benefits for the Orlando Conference participants. Its services will include the application of the IIAR Learning Management System, The Academy of Natural Refrigerants certificate program and a new interactive IIAR Online Mall platform offering marketing services to the entire IIAR membership.

The virtual platform will be accessible through this link:  2020 Online Conference & Virtual Expo.
