The prime objective of the XI European Conference is to highlight how to beat the International competition in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning. Directors and presidents of the most renowned worldwide Associations, Institutions, Organisations and Universities – along with the Minister of the Environment – will provide and present specific technological options covering the latest technologies with a comprehensive overview.

Participants to the XI European Conference face important decisions related to restructuring and renewing the activity / production of the business –also in marketing - in order to win against the current competition. This is the aim of the debates and presentations that will take place during the conference. These will be chaired by the most renowned worldwide scientific experts in the sector representing important Associations, Organisations, Universitaies, Institutions and major Firms. All participants to the Conference are welcome to intervene in the debates
