We are all carefully examining actually "Vetting Vegas" the return of our industry's largest event. Cancellation in 2021 Chicago created a great hole in the industry that needs to be filled.  Their theme is "Ready to Rock"  This is your opportunity to interact 1:1 with the latest innovations and the people that are inventing them.

The AHR Expo (International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition) will return to Las Vegas Jan. 31 - Feb. 2, 2022, after a forced cancellation in 2021 planned for Chicago. The highly anticipated 2022 Show will be the industry’s first major in-person gathering following pandemic shutdowns. Registration is free and attendees are encouraged to register early on ahrexpo.com. Show management is elated to sound the horn, “We’re back!”

AutomatedBuilding.com has had a long relationship providing free education sessions to AHRExpo for 22 years, since the Dallas show 2000.  These education sessions were a big part of our today presence and growth in this fun quip from 20 years ago, I describe that evolution "Digital Dinosaur Does Dallas" could have been a title for a low-grade horror movie but proved to be a significant growing point for us. Our involvement in The State of the Art Building Automation session at the AHREXPO helped us both inform and be informed about the rapid web growth as well as the exciting topics of evolving communication standards. We discovered that our greatest asset was the fact that we dropped out of the sky without the normal connection to large manufacturers or publishers. Once we convinced the industry that our intentions were honorable and that we wanted to build an automated building web resource the support was phenomenal.

Our Education sessions are shaping up well, in Vegas with thanks to speaking partner Scott Cochrane & the resources of Cochrane Supply

Last show was AHRExpo, 2020 Orlando. The 2020 Show welcomed over 50,000 attendees, 1,900+ exhibiting companies. We were very pleased with attendance at our free education sessions plus interest and the fact that ControlTrends captured several of the sessions on video so if you were unable to attend you can see what you missed.

After 50 year in the industry I find the source of our flakness After 50 years in Building Automation, this linkedIn post Why are they stupid hard? Because they are all snowflakes. reminds me of why our industry is so flakey and why I constantly need to work with a bunch of flakes. We all are working with snowflakes and all our solutions need constant correction to be part of each unique building.This is hard and fragments us as an industry.  As we strive to standardize new snowflakes are falling driven by changes like decarbonization, electrification, energy storage, IoT on top, occupant driven, etc The time they are changing "Dylan"
 

Whether you agree or disagree you are just another industry flake.  Big Smile. When you touch a snowflake it is forever changed..Bigger Smile

In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier,  chats with CEO and founder Shaun Cooley about scaling the smartification of the world's buildings.   Why smart buildings are stupid hard - YouTube
