AHR Expo is coming to New York, for the first time in 17 years, the AHR Expo for HVAC&R Industry Professionals will be at Javits Convention Center.  January 22nd-24th, 2008 will bring forth a wealth of information at AHR Expo, buy, sell, network and learn is what Kevin & I read on the website.  (Kevin is sleeping under his heat lamp right now-ain’t he the cutest) Before his nap, he said he loved the heat lamp, and would I investigate anything related.   Actually, I need a heat lamp, its like the arctic back here!

With the AHR Expo being housed in the Empire State Region, the attendance is supposed to climb.  This is the biggest residential and commercial HVAC&R area in the market in the U.S.   With hopes of drawing in many more attendees and exhibitors who have not had a chance to attend in the past.

With 1500 Exhibitors already signed up, there are many more international companies from over 30 various countries.   According to a survey from AHR 2007, 95% of the visitors said they found products & information to improve their business operations.

 Interop will be taking place at Javits Convention Center in New York on October 22nd-26th, 2007.   Showcasing new technologies and the latest in IT.   There will be over 200 exhibits, and you will be able to get live demo’s with the latest and greatest in new technology.

Wireless Networks, Wireless Phones, Internet, Google, and Blogging, Kevin is a little confused so he dug deep into the tank and dug out his phone and decided to make some calls over the weekend. 

Given the headache we have had in the last few weeks over our new VPS - Virtual Private Server.  Kevin called me, SINCE the girls wouldn’t let him go home with me on his scheduled sleep over.  He asked that I give him some information on some of the technologies that will be showcased at this upcoming trade show.   Interop 2007 in October is actually going to be four trade shows in one! You will be able to attend Interop, VoiceCon, Mobile Business Expo and Outsource World ! I told him that the new VPS system that we have gotten has been a nightmare, not only for our inhouse IT guy, but for those involved with the walls of Catalyst Exhibits, Inc. With email going down mid week, and no answer from our VPS hosting company for over an hour, we all got some time to catch up on human contact. 

I explained to Kevin the in’s and outs of wireless communication, and he felt that he would stick with his land line.  He may be looking to borrow someone’s rollover minutes as he travels more, and is really intersted in getting in Nancy’s suitcase the next time she is out on the road.  

Okay, when I stumbled on to the Booth Crawl, that really intrigued out little mississippi map lush.. I mean mascot! He is going to pack his own bags and his martini & margarita glasses, and head out for the booth crawl.  Its a wonder how he fits in here so well!
