Original dates of January 25-27, 2021, have been officially postponed; March 15-17, 2021, continues to be considered with a final decision expected by October 15, 2020
WESTPORT, Conn. — AHR Expo show management announced the postponement of the original planned Show dates of January 25-27 for the 2021 AHR Expo in Chicago. Both McCormick Place and Choose Chicago recognize how vital the Show is to the city and have offered show management the dates of March 15-17, 2021, to host the HVACR industry. In a survey conducted by AHR Expo, the proposed move to March is preferred by nearly 80 percent of exhibitors and attendees. The decision to postpone the original planned January dates was difficult; however, the AHR Expo, ASHRAE, and AHRI are encouraged about hosting a live event in March and continue to explore feasibility. A final decision will be announced no later than October 15, 2020.
“We continue to exhaust all possibilities that will allow us to host a safe and successful event for all industry stakeholders,” said Mark Stevens, show manager. “But we have to take into account that there are barriers for allowances within the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago that we cannot control. We remain cautiously optimistic that we can meet together in Chicago in March.”
