Those in [technical fields](http://heattransfersales.com/specifying-engineers/), in particular, need to expand their knowledge base and stay in-the-know for any new technologies or revised methodologies as the industry moves forward. We’ve compiled a few upcoming conferences in 2016 you may want to consider attending: [**ASHRAE Winter Conference/AHR Expo**](http://www.ahrexpo.com/) **(International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Exposition)** **When:** January 23-27, 2016 **Where:** Orlando, FL **Cost:** Free for the AHR Expo.  $550 member/$750 non-member for the conference registration. **Why you may want to attend:** You can choose the track you’d like to attend based on your interests. Choose from Systems and Equipment; Fundamentals and Applications; Design Build (new this year); International Design; Standards, Guidelines and Codes; Cutting Edge Technologies (new this year); the Great Debate (new this year); and Modern Residential Systems (new this year). There are a lot of new tracks and new information. And it’s in Orlando in January. No-brainer. [**2016 NC State Construction Conference**](http://www.nc-sco.com/scoconference.aspx) **When:** March 2016 (assumed date, not yet published) **Cost:** 2015 costs were $149 regular fee and $99 state government fee through March 6.

[**Greenbuild 2016**](http://www.greenbuildexpo.com/Attendee/Home) **When:** October 5-7, 2016 **Where:** Los Angeles, CA **Cost:** Not yet published **Why you may want to attend:** Greenbuild is touted as “three exhilarating days of uplifting speakers, unmatched networking opportunities, showcases, and LEED workshops.” We can’t possibly include all the conferences suitable for engineers but wanted to offer a short list of opportunities for the coming year. We recommend you also attend your local ASHRAE, USGBC, and ASME events to network with others and keep learning. **Let us know in the comment section below if there are others we should be considering!**   [![VRF Systems](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/715354/9b557c10-273e-45fe-a5de-ee49593489e9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/715354/9b557c10-273e-45fe-a5de-ee49593489e9) Blog image courtesy stockimages/freedigitalphotos.net ###### About The Author [More from this author](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/blog/author/kelly-patterson) ![](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_images/10801587_10152577444568382_8583161712827376882_n.jpg?height=100&name=10801587_10152577444568382_8583161712827376882_n.jpg) ###### Kelly Patterson Kelly Patterson is an avid fan of marketing HVAC and plumbing equipment and does it on a daily basis for all the Hoffman family of companies. #### Recommended Articles [![4 Benefits of Switching to a Hydronic HVAC System](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/hubfs/h4qhtnb3.png)](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/blog/4-benefits-of-switching-to-a-hydronic-hvac-system) ###### [4 Benefits of Switching to a Hydronic HVAC System](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/blog/4-benefits-of-switching-to-a-hydronic-hvac-system) -
