While the world seems to be slowly settling into its new normal, it feels like large group gatherings such as trade shows may still exist as a memory for a while longer. However, adapting is the best we can do – and shecco provided a fantastic example of this when they held the world’s first virtual trade show for natural refrigerants last week.

To gain a better understanding of the future of trade shows and how they may exist in our new normal, I spoke to Marc Chasserot, Group CEO of shecco.

Carel participó en el ‘Natural Refrigerant Virtual Trade Show’, la primera feria comercial virtual para la refrigeración con gases naturales los días 1 y 2 de septiembre. Durante 24 horas, de forma continua, los visitantes virtuales podían solicitar encuentros digitales con el personal que estaba virtualmente en los stand, con el fin de recrear los eventos presenciales lo mejor posible.

August 2020 – Embraco, a global reference in technology for the complete domestic and commercial cold chain, and a brand in the Nidec Global Appliance portfolio, will be attending on September 1st and 2nd, the World’s First Global Virtual Trade Show for Natural Refrigerants, organized by shecco, together with more than 70 other exhibitors. The event, which was adapted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, will take place over a 24-hour period, starting at 10am CEST (Central Europe Summer Time) through an interactive virtual platform and free to attend (interested parties can register here).

VTS attendees came from across the global cooling marketplace, including end users, manufacturers, contractors, associations, government officials, consultants, academics, students, media, and NGOs.

The Arneg Group will attend the Virtual Trade Show 2020 on 1-2 September as a PREMIUM exhibitor.

Organised by Shecco subsidiary ATMOsphere, the event is the world’s first natural refrigerant virtual trade show.

The live event will take place over a 24-hour period, encompassing every time-zone, starting with Europe, the Middle East and Africa, followed by North, Central and South America, and finishing with the Asia Pacific region on 2 September.

Called the Virtual Trade Show (VTS), the event enabled thousands of cooling industry professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic to connect live with 77 suppliers and promoters of natural refrigerant products and view live webinars in an unprecedented global online format.

Natural refrigerants – carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, ammonia, water and air – are being used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems around the world as substitutes for fluorinated refrigerants that harm the environment.

“We made history in the cooling industry with an event that for the first time connected stakeholders around the world over a 24-hour period to learn about the latest natural refrigerant systems,” said Marc Chasserot, CEO of shecco.
