“Our members are really excited about this fresh opportunity to see new speakers and products,” said Ike Casey, executive vice president of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors — National Association (PHCC), one of ISH NA 2002’s cosponsors. “Our annual meeting in Toronto will feature quality content that will be fully integrated into the ISH NA seminar and show program. It’ll be the best of all worlds for giving all attendees a true bang for their buck.”

Show sponsors cite attendance at exhibit booths as their first priority and are carefully programming an anticipated menu of 40-plus seminars. “We’re keeping a keen eye on our schedule,” said Inge Calderon, executive vice president of the American Supply Association (ASA), another cosponsor. “We want to assure attendees will have ample time on the show floor throughout the exposition. Our past experience and show surveys indicate that offering a comprehensive seminar program benefits show attendance.”

Additional seminar topics will include e-commerce, selling skills, fire protection products, preventing Legionnaire’s disease, human resources, indoor air quality, and new Canadian hydronics standards. Specifics will be announced shortly.

Messe Frankfurt Inc. hosts ISH North America in cooperation with the American Supply Association, the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating, and the PHCC. ASA and PHCC each will hold their annual meetings in conjunction with ISH NA in 2002. In 2003, ISH NA will be held in Las Vegas, NV.
