A full slate of speakers will address the latest developments in CO2 (R744) refrigeration at the ATMOsphere (ATMO) America Summit 2022 on natural refrigerants in June.
The ATMO America Summit is scheduled to take place, in person, June 7–8 in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center. It will be the first in-person ATMO America conference since 2019.
This 11th annual edition of ATMO America will gather key industry experts, policy makers, end users and contractors to learn about the latest developments in natural refrigerant-based systems, including those using CO2, hydrocarbons and ammonia. ATMO America is organized by ATMOsphere (formerly shecco), publisher of R744.com.
