Registrations open for ARBS 2024
At the International Convention Centre Sydney from 28-30 May, the Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Building Services Exhibition (ARBS) will feature over 340 exhibitors sharing advancements in heating, ventilation, air conditioning & refrigeration (HVAC&R) and building services.
Alongside the exhibition is a seminar program addressing relevant topics in the industry, including heat pumps, electrification and skill shortages. These discussions provide an overview into the critical issues and innovations shaping the future of the industry.
New to ARBS 2024 are two significant initiatives aimed at enhancing industry inclusivity and leadership:
- Women in HVAC&R Program — On 29 May, this event is celebrating the essential contributions of women in the industry. Co-hosted by AMCA Australia, AIRAH and ARBS, the day includes the Women in AIRAH breakfast, a diversity panel and a keynote on women in HVAC&R, and concludes with a networking lunch featuring bubbles and canapés. This initiative not only highlights achievements but also fosters meaningful discussions and networking opportunities, encouraging actionable dialogue across the industry.
- ARBS Insight Tour and Leadership Forum — On 30 May, ARBS will tour two Sydney building plant rooms, including the Salesforce Tower. Participants will gain insights into HVAC&R technologies and the engineering marvels that power modern buildings. The tour will be followed by a panel discussion and lunch with industry experts, discussing crucial topics that are shaping the industry.
