Trade show exhibitors know it all too well: the few days leading up the AHR EXPO are filled with activity and stress, as company representatives rehearse their messages, and ready their booths.
I visited McCormick Place today, on the eve of the opening of the HVACR industry's show of shows, the AHR EXPO. The place was hopping with activity, though with about 30,000 less people than will be here starting tomorrow, Jan. 26.
View this gallery to see some of the people whose time, effort, and dedication help make this event so worthwhile for the thousands who will visit over three days.
