Why do we organize a virtual event?

Since the first HVAC&R Seminar, organized in Građevinski centar in Belgrade, 1970, International HVAC&R Congress and Exhibition did not skip a year. Not even during electricity shortages, international sanctions, NATO bombing… Changed were numbers of participants and exhibitors, but we always waited the beginning of December new KGH event with great expectations and impatience…

It is not easy to remove the social aspect of such a large event – we will all loose a lot. Almost half of last year’s companies will not participate this year only for that reason. They will stay in the “Who is Who in HVAC&R in 2020” book, in “KGH” journal in 2021, and they will be back in the next on-site event, but they did not accept all advantages of the virtual event.

Once again, we thank all who were brave enough to follow us into the new unknown.

Another networking possibility

Nothing can replace the personal contact with the world leading HVAC&R experts, the Sava Center crowd, meeting colleagues from another city… but virtual event is open for much wider audience from all over the world.

This year we are making another step ahead, and we created a LinkedIn group for this year’s KGH participants, as new networking opportunity. Register, start a discussion, seek for answers, offer a solution…

National Students Competition

As in previous years, the National students competition will be held, and author of the winning paper will represent the Faculty, the Serbian HVAC&R Society and the Republic of Serbina on the next REHVA Students Competition.
