Chillventa 2024 will be the epicenter for discussions on refrigerants, heat pumps, energy transition, sustainability, circular economy, and the skilled personnel shortage. Scheduled for October 2024, the event will bring together experts from around the world to participate in specialist forums, visit exhibition stands, and attend special presentations. Attendees will have the opportunity to acquire knowledge, engage in face-to-face discussions with speakers and stand personnel, and explore the latest products. For those seeking deeper professional knowledge, particularly on refrigeration or heat pump technology, the Chillventa CONGRESS held the day before the exhibition is a must-attend event.
Dr. Rainer Jakobs, who coordinates the supporting program for Chillventa and the European Heat Pump Summit, emphasized the event's focus on knowledge transfer and networking. "In keeping with the motto: Chillventa Connecting Experts, the specialist forums will feature over 200 presentations from renowned speakers and companies, providing professional expertise first-hand," said Jakobs. "This year, the focus will be on heat pumps and refrigerants in the context of sustainability and the circular economy. Topics like digitalization, energy performance, IT security of refrigeration systems, eco-design, efficiency through controls, innovation in heat transfer, air conditioning, waste heat utilization in data centers, and heat recovery will also be covered by prestigious international experts and companies."
Knowledge Hub for Visitors: Four Forums in the Exhibition Halls
Visitors looking for specific answers to current questions or wanting to expand their knowledge should visit the four specialist forums.
Information about the forums and presentations can be found in advance at Chillventa Specialist Forums, which will cover:
