The 2017 AHR Expo returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center Jan. 30-Feb. 1 and once again I’ll be front and center.
I believe this is my 31st consecutive year attending the show; however I also attended it back in 1984. In earlier years I used to man a booth for a manufacturer or a trade publication at the show. I can remember working for a major manufacturer distributor as its service/training manager in 1986 and was quite disappointed when my manager (who didn’t attend) denied my request for financial help in traveling to and staying in the city where it was held. In fact, he didn’t even want to allow me the time off. My total expenses were less than $250 back then, which were no more than what it cost me to put on a training class. I digress…
