| Excellent atmosphere, strong international presence: Chillventa 2022 a complete success  Chillventa 2022 attracted 844 exhibitors from 43 countries and again over 30,000 trade visitors, who finally had the opportunity to discuss innovations and trending themes on-site and in person after an absence of four years.Many highlights in the supporting programme rounded out this successful industry gathering. On the day prior to the exhibition, the Chillventa CONGRESS, with 307 participants, also impressed the professional community both on-site and online via live stream. Over 56 percent of the 30,773 visitors to Chillventa came to Nuremberg from all over the world. The quality of the trade visitors, in particular, was impressive as usual: Round about 81 percent of the visitors were directly involved in the purchasing and procurement decisions in their businesses. Nine of ten were happy with the range of products and services, and over 96 percent will participate again in the next Chillventa. The majority of the exhibitors came from Germany, Italy, Turkey, Spain, France and Belgium. 94 percent of exhibitors (measured by area) regard their participation at Chillventa as a success. 95 percent were able to forge new business contacts and expect post-show business from the event. Even before the exhibition was over, 94 of the 844 exhibitors said they would exhibit again at Chillventa 2024. Another good reason for visiting Chillventa 2022 was the even greater variety in the top-quality accompanying programme compared to the previous event in the series. "More than 200 presentations – even more than in 2018 – were laid on over four days for participants in the Chillventa CONGRESS and the forums, providing perfectly tailored industry knowledge and the latest information, " says Dr Rainer Jakobs, technical consultant and technical programme coordinator for Chillventa. "The focus was on subjects such as sustainability, the refrigerant transition challenge, REACH or PEFAS, and large-scale heat pumps and high-temperature heat pumps, and then there were the new insights into air-conditioning for data centres."The new forum "A practical guide to digitization for craftspeople", emphasized on using digitalization to improve efficiency, productivity, and revenue in the trades. Practitioners from actual businesses in this field provided an insight into their real-life workflows. Further highlights in the supporting programme were the newly created Job Corner, which provided an opportunity for employers and qualified skilled workers to meet; two special presentations on the subjects of "Heat pumps" and "Handling flammable refrigerants"; and professionally guided tours with various key themes. "This year, we had two super competitions at Chillventa, " comments Harreiss. "Not only were awards presented to the best young refrigeration plant manufacturers in the Federal Skills Competition, but we also hosted the world championships for the professions for the first time, the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition. Congratulations to the winners in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Systems field." The next highlight on the event calendar for heat pump professionals will be on 24 and 25 October 2023: the European Heat Pump Summit at the Nuremberg exhibition venue. The next Chillventa will take place in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 8 to 10 October 2024. The day before, on 7 October 2024, the Chillventa CONGRESS will launch the event week for the international refrigeration, AC & ventilation and heat pump community. write your comments about the article :: © 2022 Construction News :: home page |
