The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) brings industrial process heating professionals together to provide combustion and safety education for the industry each and every fall.
This year will look different, but IHEA will still deliver essential content through a virtual platform. IHEA is committed to continuing to provide a base of industry knowledge even in challenging times. These seminars are a great resource for those who are responsible for the operation, design and maintenance of industrial process furnaces and ovens.
The IHEA Virtual Fall Seminars will be held over two consecutive weeks in November from Wednesday–Friday each week. The agendas for the virtual seminars contain vital topics that have been adapted to online versions so attendees can still get the information they need whether they are working from home or in the office.
“While we are certainly disappointed that we aren’t able to hold our seminars in person this year, we still believe it’s extremely important to provide these educational opportunities to the industry,” says Anne Goyer, IHEA’s Executive Vice President. “Our industry is critical to manufacturing and continuing to educate those in the industry will keep our industry strong.”
