Main Program

Topic: State of the Mechanical Industry in Hawaii Roundtable Discusion

 There is no doubt that the economy has weighed on our industry over the past few years but luckily things are turning for the better. Companies have adapted to the changes in the industry and will continue to do so as the economy continues to recover. ASHRAE extended an invitation to several well respected industry professionals to share their thoughts on the state of the industry here in Hawaii. Their backgrounds cover a large portion of the industry from contracting, engineering and vendors. During the discussion, these professionals will cover topics such as where the industry is right now, where it is headed, and insight for those who are new to our ever expanding industry. Join us for what is sure to be a very spirited discussion about Hawaii’s HVAC&R industry.
