How will you celebrate World Refrigeration Day?

World Refrigeration Day, celebrated on June 26, is an international awareness campaign established to raise the profile of HVAC&R. It focuses attention on the significant role that the industry and its technology play in modern life and society.

It also draws attention to engineering and science that is all around us every day. As the official World Refrigeration Day website notes:

“Refrigeration is at the very heart of modern life. It enables people to live, travel and work comfortably. It saves lives. It enables people to achieve.”

This year, due to ongoing COVID restrictions, HVAC&R organisations and businesses have focused on virtual events and activities, including a range of webinars taking place around the world. Times are shown in AEST. Although some of the times are not very friendly for listeners in Australia, most provide a recording later, so it is worth registering for sessions of interest.
