ORLANDO, Fla. — More than 500 HVAC educators and trainers touched down in sunny Orlando, Florida, for the 2015 HVAC Excellence HVACR Educators and Trainers conference, March 15-17. Record high March temperatures for the city may have encouraged visitors to venture outside and visit Mickey Mouse at Disney World, but the focus inside the Florida Hotel & Conference Center was clearly on improving the learning process for industry students and ensuring instructors stay at the forefront of developing technologies and teaching techniques.
The conference featured a bevy of presentations, including award ceremonies, breakout lessons, general sessions, and a product exhibition with more than 70 showcasing companies. Educator credentialing exams were provided on-site as part of the conference, as was a class on programmatic accreditation.
