The ARBS, Australia’s largest HVAC&R and building services exhibition, has decided to once again postpone the exhibition previously scheduled for February 2021 in Melbourne, Victoria.

The news comes in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic with the safety of all participants a major concern. It will move the 2021 show to the next planned event, the ARBS 2022 which will be held on 27-29 April 2022 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

“The decision to postpone ARBS 2021 was not entered into lightly and took into account the local and global concerns about COVID-19 as well as Federal and State Government advice,” ARBS exhibition manager Sue Falcke says.

“We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our exhibitors, speakers, award finalists and visitors, however we must prioritise the health and safety of all attendees. We wish to thank everyone for their continued support and understanding during such uncertain times.”

ARBS will continue to build on its digital communications with the ongoing publication of its ARBS Connect newsletter. It will also feature an online ARBS 2020 Awards ceremony which celebrates the achievements, people and products in the HVAC&R and building services industry.
