Industry experts will address key issues facing the cooling industry, as part of the free Seminar Programme being held alongside RAC 05, the UK’s premier event for the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry (March 1st-3rd 2005, NEC, Birmingham).
The high quality programme, details of which have just been released by organiser Emap Maclaren, includes presentations on topical issues, including new regulations and technical challenges facing the trade and ends user customers.
On the opening day (Tuesday 1st March, 2005), two headline seminars take pride of place. Gabola Salvatore, Director of Public Affairs at The Coca-Cola Company will explain the organization’s new policy on HFC refrigerants whilst Bob Arthur, Refrigeration Engineer from Marks & Spencer will outline the blue chip retailer’s approach to procuring refrigeration equipment and plant maintenance.
Other seminars explore the likely impact of the F-Gas Regulations, the issue of mandatory registration for refrigerant handlers and the effect of remote control on the refrigeration world.
There will also be two head-to-head debates where heavyweight presenters will seek to win over the audience to their point of view. These focus on the future of HFC’s and the respective virtues of reciprocating versus scroll compressors.
“The free seminar programme will be a centerpiece attraction of RAC 05” says Event Director, Rowan Crowley. “We have assembled an impressive line-up of speakers to engage audiences on the critical refrigeration and air-conditioning issues of the day. We are confident that the RAC 05 seminar programme we have devised will succeed in stimulating minds, provoking debate and encouraging delegates and their companies to act.”
Running across all three days of RAC 05, the seminar programme will take place in a purpose-built, 100 seat theatre on the floor of the exhibition. Entry is free to all visitors but delegates can pre-register their places on the RAC 05 website to avoid any disappointment.
