Top-class expert knowledge

•    Chillventa Rossija Congressing convinced the experts
•    New event cycle from autumn 2015

Chillventa Rossija, Russia’s most important gathering of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector for commercial and industrial applications, took place in the Crocus Expo Center in Moscow from 4–6 February 2014. This year’s event was very successful again and the exhibitors were satisfied too. 106 companies from Russia and abroad presented their products and services and were available for intensive talks. 5,455 trade visitors sourced information on components, products, systems and current industry trends with the focus on commercial and industrial refrigeration. Chillventa Rossija Congressing also convinced the visiting experts with a first-class congress programme and top speakers. An event from experts for experts.

“Chillventa Rossija was also successful in 2014,” says a delighted Wolfgang Kranz, Member of the Management Board of NürnbergMesse. “The 5,455 visitors ensured that the exhibition halls were always well filled. We will continue to develop the position of this leading event, the only refrigeration trade fair in Russia,” says Kranz. “We have listened carefully to our exhibitors and have implemented the positive and constructive feedback. First we will move Chillventa Rossija to the autumn, and second it will take place every two years in future in line with the needs of the Russian industry, and alternate with Chillventa in Nürnberg.”

Permanent event in the exhibition calendar

Chillventa Rossija and Chillventa Rossija Congressing have developed excellently. After being organized four times, the exhibition is established as a permanent event in the Russian exhibition calendar. “One reason for the success of Chillventa Rossija is certainly the fact that we continuously develop the concept of the exhibition every year. This is confirmed by exhibitors and visitors alike. We will evaluate the feedback again this year and, in addition to changing the cycle and moving to the autumn, carefully adapt the event concept where necessary and advisable to ensure a successful future,” says Kranz.

Chillventa Rossija Congressing: from experts for experts

Chillventa Rossija Congressing, the accompanying congress programme, provided excellent and highly topical knowledge at first hand. The motto for this year’s congress with international speakers was “The refrigeration industry under the conditions of industrial and infrastructural development in Russia.” The following conference blocks were on the agenda: innovations in compressors, heat exchangers and automation and control, new applications and overview of the development of the heat pump market in Russia, applications for agricultural, industrial and logistic firms, energy efficiency in supermarkets, cleanrooms and air-conditioned chambers. The varied congress spectrum included energy-saving components and equipment, heat pumps in municipal and commercial buildings, and refrigeration and air conditioning for industrial and commercial use. Young professionals presented the results of their research projects.

Outlook – next stop Chillventa 2014!

The next highlight for the international refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump industry takes place at the Nürnberg exhibition centre from 14–16 October 2014: Chillventa 2014. The signs already indicate success. The organizers assume that this year’s Chillventa will be bigger than ever.
