Register for IHEA’s Industrial Heating Decarbonization Summit

Registration is open for the Industrial Heating Equipment Association’s (IHEA) Industrial Heating Decarbonization Summit to be held Oct. 28-30, 2024, at the Conrad Indianapolis. Attendance for this event is limited so early registration is recommended.

The two-day Summit will tackle the decarbonization challenges in the industrial heating industry. “IHEA’s Industrial Heating Decarbonization Summit is the most comprehensive collection of information regarding sustainability and decarbonization within the industry,’ says Chad Spore, John Deere’s enterprise materials engineering supervisor, metals – Region 4. “You will walk away with confidence on how to take on this challenge within your business.”

The Summit is designed to assist everyone using heat technologies to understand and overcome important concerns and provide potential solutions as manufacturers plan for a sustainable future. The program contains topics that will inform and guide attendees in their journey to decarbonization, while a host of tabletop exhibitors will offer products and services that assist the industry in finding pathways to offset carbon emissions and a variety of alternative solutions.

The Summit program outline includes the session titles only. For complete details and speaker information on each session, please visit the event website at summit.ihea.org/program.html.
