Advertising and Promotion Actively participating in ASHRAE events is a great way to network and discuss potential projects and applications. Chapter meetings provide a captive audience and exposure to a group actively involved in our industry. Promotion opportunities are available during our chapter meetings, through the monthly newsletter and the new website.
TABLE TOP DISPLAY What better way to display a new product, existing line, or share great ideas than to have a table top display at our monthly chapter meetings? The fee to provide a Table Top Display is $200.00 (CAD). In addition to the presentation, the fee also covers the cost of the presenter’s meal at the event. If interested in providing a Table Top Display at a future meeting to promote product lines or technologies, please contact Paul Greff to schedule.
