What Smardt Smart Chiller Group Says About FMA Summits

“We manufacture chillers from the ground up using the latest technology in the market today based on energy production and energy consumption. We are trying to reduce our carbon footprints and do things better in the world and we have the technology that helps people do that.”

“This is probably one of the most exciting formats that we have ever been to. We have been to larger conventions like ASHRAE and IFMA. In our industry the more intimate you are with the relationships and the consumer the better it is. FMA has been very friendly to our organization.”

“This is my first time at FMA and we feel like this is very good money spent. We have had a lot of relationship building. I think I have some friends I will keep for life just from this first meeting.”

“We are obviously out here to make money too, but the friendship and intimacy of this whole organization has been very well received by our company. We plan to do this again year after year.”

For HVAC and chiller manufacturers that want more than a crowded expo floor, this review shows why an intimate, relationship focused summit format can lead to stronger connections and better long term business.
