Although it feels like just the other day that we had our record-breaking FRIGAIR 2015 , there is less than a year to go until our local industry ’ s top HEVAC & R show takes to Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand again .

The biggest ever FRIGAIR Expo took place at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand , Johannesburg , from 3 to 5 June 2015 and was a winner with the 4 470 visitors who attended over the three show days .

FRIGAIR Expo 2015 recorded the highest number of visitors ever and the largest number of exhibitors , occupying more than 3 600m 2 of net space , which is 20 % growth over the previous show in 2012 .
Highlighting the crucial role played by the HEVAC & R industry and the rapidly developing technology in eco-friendly efficiency , FRIGAIR Expo exhibitors were given plenty of opportunity to engage with the thousands of high-profile visitors . Exhibitors reported off-the-floor sales , hundreds of sales leads , and valuable business networking . The enthusiasm from exhibitors has been overwhelming .
Alongside the 140 exhibitors , international ASHRAE-approved speakers presented four workshops during the show .
The 2018 show is just around the corner and will take place at the same venue from 6 to 8 June 2018 . Industry is eager about the expo as the time nears to show off the best the market has to offer .
