The Heating, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) replaced its annual year-end summit with an all-new virtual format in 2020. The virtual conference took place Oct. 7-9, bringing in 349 wholesale-distributor attendees from 127 different member companies, and a grand total of 695 attendees from 270 member companies.
The event kicked off with a presentation from Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, who discussed how his companies pivoted operations due to COVID-19 and used his expertise in entrepreneurship, finance, economics and business to answer live questions from HARDI members.
