The AHR Expo returned to Chicago Jan. 22-24 for a productive week of learning, reconnecting, and checking out new products in the HVACR market. Attendance was strong; the show welcomed 48,034 participants.

“The industry showed up for business in Chicago,” said Mark Stevens, show manager. “Throughout the year, we’ve followed discussions regarding regulation rollouts, decarbonization trends, and various other tracks about the way we conduct business as an industry. It was evident in the halls that the professionals in attendance are primed to create solutions and drive business forward.”

The show floor’s 527,520 square footage of space saw 1,875 exhibitors spread across the North and South Halls at McCormick Place.

“The network transformation is resulting in incredible visibility and partnership for professionals,” said Nicole Bush, AHR Expo director of marketing. “There is a true line of two-way communication between the professionals in the field and the manufacturers creating products and technology.”

The education program featured 120 sessions, 153 new product presentations, and seven panels in the AHR Panel Series. “Great turnout. It was awesome customer and prospect engagement,” commented James Carpenter, account manager, R.W. Beckett Corp.

The 2025 AHR Expo will be held from Feb. 10-12 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
