Over 1,700 companies have reserved more than 414,500 sq ft of exhibit space for the 2012 AHR Expo in Chicago January 23-25, making it the largest HVACR exposition of all-time. With several weeks remaining before the Show opens at McCormick Place, the 2012 event has already surpassed the previous all-time record of 410,415 sq ft set at the 2006 exposition in Chicago.
“We are very pleased about achieving this new all-time record, especially as this is our company’s 100th Anniversary,” said Clay Stevens, president of International Exposition Company, which produces and manages the AHR Expo. “Historically, the number of attendees tends to increase proportionately with the increase in square footage.”
