“Technology’s not going to solve everything, but you need to know how to use it,” Nelson Valderrama, CEO of Intuilize, told HVACR distribution professionals during the recent Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International conference.
Factors that shape the HVACR distribution market paint an uncertain picture of the year ahead. But Talbot Gee says those distributors who plan for different scenarios and are ready to “pivot on a dime” will fare best.
Loran Liu succeeds Rhonda Wight as chair of the board of directors at Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International. Liu is COO at Standard Supply & Distributing Co.
The conference will offer six keynote speakers, meals, breakout sessions on a variety of topics, socializing and networking, and opportunities to meet with suppliers and representatives of businesses that support distributors.
