International Exposition Company, the management company that produces the AHR Expo, reports that this year's show is expected to be one of the best yet, with more than 365,000 square feet of exhibit space. The 2004 Anaheim show consisted of 324,590 square feet of exhibit space.
Clay Stevens, president of International Exposition Company, believes there are several reasons for the enthusiastic response to the 2005 show. "The Southeastern United States represents one of the strongest HVACR markets in the country. Due to climate diversity, the normal demand for heating, refrigeration and ventilation products is accentuated by the intense use of air conditioning."
