Industry experts will address key issues facing the cooling industry, as part of the free Seminar Programme being held alongside RAC 05, which is being held at the NEC, Birmingham from
1-3 March 2005.
The high quality programme, details of which have just been released by organiser Emap Maclaren, includes presentations on topical issues, including new regulations and technical
challenges facing the trade and ends user customers.
On the opening day two headline seminars take pride of place. Gabola Salvatore, Director of Public Affairs at The Coca-Cola Company will explain the organisation’s new policy on HFC
refrigerants whilst Bob Arthur, Refrigeration Engineer from Marks & Spencer will outline the blue chip retailer’s approach to procuring refrigeration equipment and plant maintenance.
Other seminars explore the likely impact of the F-Gas Regulations, the issue of mandatory registration for refrigerant handlers and the effect of remote control on the refrigeration world.
There will also be two head-to-head debates where heavyweight presenters will seek to win over the audience to their point of view. These focus on the future of HFC’s and the respective
virtues of reciprocating versus scroll compressors.
Running across all three days of RAC 05, the seminar programme will take place in a purpose-built, 100 seat theatre on the floor of the exhibition. Entry is free to all visitors but delegates
can pre-register their places on the RAC 05 website to avoid any disappointment. Details of the full seminar programme and speaker list is available to view on the RAC 05 website
(www.racexhibition.com).
In addition to the comprehensive seminar programme, RAC 05 will feature the UK’s most extensive cooling exhibition as well as a comprehensive range of VIP end-user briefing sessions.
The event also plays host to the Eurovent/Cecomaf conference for the very first time. Other initiatives include ‘Careers in Cooling’, a series of activities and events at the show which will put
the spotlight on opportunities for young people in the RAC industry and a Service Engineer Skills Centre.

There is an obvious need for the industry to be more energy efficient and pay more attention to the ways in which energy is both used and wasted. Do you think we have the products on the market to meet our needs?
