CIPHEX West live and in-person!

It is exciting to be in Vancouver, meeting face-to-face with industry colleagues at the Pacific Coliseum. CIPHEX West exhibitors are enjoying the opportunity to see key customers in-person to discuss their products and offer technical expertise. It has been 20 months since there has been a HVAC-industry trade show of this scale in Canada – attendees are enthusiastic.

Wednesday seminar sessions on intelligent pumping technology, grease interceptors, and non-metal systems in plumbing were informative and well-attended. The seminar day wrapped up with the Canadian Hydronics Council’s presentation: The changing hydronic landscape in Canada. An expert panel, which was moderated by Jerry Leyte of Viessmann, touched on how technology has changed the hydronic industry; how contractors can use technology to be more effective in business; and changes to codes and legislation. The panel also discussed City of Vancouver initiatives and electrification.

With over 150 exhibitors, and more than 40 products premiering at the show, delegates have been kept busy keeping up with the latest innovations here. Look for coverage of CIPHEX West in the November/December issue of Mechanical Business.
