AN IMPROVING US economy and an exciting new venue are said to be behind the success of the 2011 AHR Expo held at the beginning of this month.
More than 54,000 registered heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration professionals (over 34,000 visitors and 20,000 exhibitor personnel) filled the aisles of the Las Vegas Convention Center to see all the latest products and innovations on display from 1,938 exhibiting companies.

In addition to becoming the largest Western AHR Expo in the eventʼs 80-year history, this yearʼs event was also the largest show ever held outside of Chicago or New York.

The total attendance surpassed the 2004 Anaheim Show by over 40% while the 1,938 exhibiting companies and 379,360ft2 of exhibit space were 16% bigger than the Anaheim show. The 1,938 exhibiting companies also rank as the second largest number for any show.
