s for the 2010 conferences will be due in early December 2009. Please visit the Web site and watch the newsletter for updates.

At the 2008 meeting, event sponsors were Shanghai Hitachi Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd.; LG Electronics, Inc.; The Trane Company; Danfoss, Inc.; and Emerson Climate Technologies. If your organization is interested in sponsoring an event, there are opportunities available. Dr. S. Forbes Pearson, President of Star Refrigeration Ltd. and UK Institute of Refrigeration Fellow, gives the Keynote address at the conferences. Eckhard Groll will serve as the General Chairperson, and James Braun, Doug Adams, and Travis Horton will be chairing these conferences. The compressor conferences are an opportunity for Herrick graduates specializing in HVAC&R to return to campus. If you’ll be able to attend, please stop by and say, “Hello.” It’s always good to see our alums. Of course, socializing, networking, and eating are important social aspects of the conferences and short courses.
