It’s the second year of HARDI’s Focus Conferences and two of the four topics on the 2014 circuit are brand new — Operations and Logistics Optimization and Purchasing Optimization. A total of four conferences will be held in March, April, June, and September of this year. Each conference begins with a cocktail reception and later an update on HARDI. The rest of the time during the conference is filled with informational and networking sessions including special speakers and industry professionals who address the specific topics outlined for each region.
According to HARDI, the 2014 Focus Conferences will continue to keep members updated on current issues in legislation, as well as how economic factors play a role in strategic operations for HVAC professionals. Jon Melchi, HARDI’s director of Government Affairs will provide members updates concerning advocacy at all four conferences. Andrew Duguay, senior economist at ITR, will also be attending each conference to give members his regional forecast, explaining what trends they can expect in the market that could possibly affect business growth and performance.
