Messe Frankfurt and its partners and sponsors have organized ISH NA with the theme of "Forging a New Era of Products, Productivity and Profits." From October 31-November 2, approximately 20,000 attendees will fill Toronto's National Trade Centre for the debut of ISH NA. The newly consolidated show offers vital business and educational opportunities to anyone involved in the plumbing, kitchen & bath, PVF and hvac industries. With 400 exhibitors from 13 countries, ISH NA is a world-class event.
Messe Frankfurt is working in conjunction with the American Supply Association (ASA), the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors-National Association (PHCC), and the Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating (CIPH) to make ISH a success in North America. ASA and PHCC will hold their annual conventions in Toronto, starting just before the ISH show, building the event into an "all-in-one" package for attendees. ASA's "Supply Chain Summit" and PHCC's "Passport to Profitability" will meet offsite in association with the show. Additional industry events include CIPH's Habitat for Humanity Canada Gala Fundraiser, Radiant Panel Association's Semi-Annual Conference and AIM/R's Principal Appreciation Reception.
ISH NA has recruited 30 celebrated speakers to present more than 50 seminars and panel discussions. Seminars will cover a broad range of topics geared toward a number of industry interests, including kitchen & bath, plumbing, PVF, hvac and hydronics. Seminars will be held from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. For online seminar registration, visit www.ish-na.com.
