It has been confirmed that the ACR Show will return to Birmingham's NEC every two years after a successful debut.

The event is dedicated to showing off the latest in air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump technology.

Speaking to HeatingandVentilating.net, event director Jan Thorpe said: "The feedback we have received from exhibitors has been extremely pleasing. I would like to thank all those who supported the launch and believed in what we were doing. I am delighted that the show delivered - both for visitors and exhibitors."

The show managed to attract a number of big name sponsors, including LG, Climate Center, Panasonic and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The event featured more than 30 seminars on a number of industry topics, while organisers have confirmed that ACR will return again in 2014.

Later this year HEVAR 2012 will take place at the NEC, which will provide an ideal forum for buyers, suppliers and end users of heating and ventilation products.
