Manufacturers built extremely valuable experiences for industry tradesmen, women and influencers by hosting events, competitions and meet-ups aimed at opening exciting channels of content creation and networking opportunities.
“The expansion of the network with new and creative ways to connect is providing outstanding visibility and collaboration for professionals. Five years ago the industry was struggling with two-way communication channels, and now it exists in abundance between field professionals and the manufacturers developing the products and technologies,” said Nicole Bush, Director of Marketing at AHR Expo. “In-person events like the AHR Expo enhance the social connections made online by allowing for greater networking development, and this is proving to be incredibly valuable to our industry.”

Of the sessions, 145 were new product presentations in New Product Theaters and seven panels in the AHR Panel Series.
