ASHRAE Conferences

ASHRAE hosts two major annual events, the Winter Conference and the Annual Conference, each bringing together HVAC&R and building industry professionals to advance technical knowledge, develop industry standards, and collaborate on solutions that improve the built environment.

The Winter Conference is ASHRAE’s largest governance and technical meeting of the year and is uniquely strengthened by its long-standing partnership with the AHR Expo, the world’s largest HVACR marketplace. This co-location allows attendees to combine ASHRAE’s technical sessions, committee meetings, and networking opportunities with direct access to thousands of exhibitors showcasing the latest products, technologies, and innovations. Together, ASHRAE provides the technical leadership and educational programming, while the AHR Expo provides the industry’s largest marketplace and technology showcase, making the Winter Conference and AHR Expo one of the most influential annual events in the built-environment industry.

The Annual Conference, held each summer, offers a more focused environment for technical programming, society business, committee work, and professional development, but does not include the AHR Expo. Together, these conferences provide essential opportunities for learning, collaboration, leadership engagement, and innovation while supporting ASHRAE’s mission to advance sustainable, healthy, and energy-efficient buildings.
