    AMERICAN SPORTS LEGEND TO DELIVER KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT HVACR WEEK
    Come celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the “Miracle On Ice” with an Opening Keynote Event at HVACR WEEK like no other.

HVACR WEEK attendees will walk away inspired, moved and ready to take Mike’s message right back to their own businesses.
