The AHR Expo wrapped up the 2023 show in Atlanta with an exigent focus on reshaping the future of the industry – together.

It’s been four years since the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) last held its convention and expo. The normally biannual event was canceled in the fall of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 ASPE Convention & Expo returned Sept. 16-21 in Indianapolis. The turnout and enthusiasm among attendees and vendors alike proved that the organization — and its members — were more than ready to get back to business.

Franklin Electric welcomed about 30 manufacturers reps to its Fort Wayne, Indiana headquarters Aug. 29-31 for Little Giant Product Champion training.

The seventh Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS) returned as an in-person event for the first time in four years, bringing together industry, manufacturing, water utility and government leaders from around the world. The event was held May 10-11 at the Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio, and was co-convened by the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE), the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) and Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI).
