“Each year, the ASHRAE Winter Conference and AHR Expo provide built environment professionals with events and experiences and the best resources and presenters to deliver cutting-edge knowledge to address today’s challenges,” said Farooq Mehboob, ASHRAE Fellow Life Member and 2022-2023 ASHRAE president. “Attending the Winter Conference and AHR Expo provides a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, make new professional connections, and inspire innovative thinking.
