FRIGAIR POSTPONED
TO JUNE 2022
Based on the results of consulting and
the results of a stakeholder survey,
SAIRAC and its partners Interact Media
Defined, and Specialised Exhibitions
has taken the decision to move the
dates of its Frigair Expo 2021 to June
1 – 3, 2022.
The South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning (SAIRAC), Interact Media Defined and
Specialised Exhibitions, have consulted widely with stakeholders
in the HVAC and Refrigeration Industries. This is due to the global
pandemic and the devastating effect Covid-19 is having on both
the local South African and international economies.
The show will take place at Gallagher Convention Centre,
Johannesburg.
“Measures declared by the President on Sunday the 15th
of March included a ‘ban on mass gatherings of more than
100 people’, as well as social distancing, and subsequently
has enforced a complete lockdown of South Africa exempting
only essential services,” says Gary Corin, managing director of
Specialised Exhibitions.
“We fully support this pronouncement and measures taken by
Government in instituting a country wide lockdown, the safety
and wellbeing of our exhibitors, suppliers and visitors – and
indeed the industry as a whole – is of paramount importance,
thus we have decided to postpone the expo to 2022.
“Interact Media Defined, SAIRAC and Specialised Exhibitions
look forward to hosting a strong showing for the Heating,
Ventilation, Airconditioning and Refrigeration industry in
2022. We appreciate the input, engagement and support of all
industry stakeholders. We appreciate the need for an industry
platform and hope that the decision to defer the exhibition by a
year will allow for a substantive event in 2022,” concludes Sean
Macnamara, managing director of Interact Media Defined.
All exhibitors’ bookings and space allocations will be
carried over to the 2022 show. Our team of professionals will
be in personal contact with all exhibitors both confirmed and
provisional to ensure a seamless transition to Frigair 2022.
