Kazakhstan exhibition company Iteca traditionally starts this autumn season with largest international exhibitions of construction industry in Kazakhstan - Aqua-Therm Almaty 2015 and KazBuild 2015, which will be held on September 2-5 in Almaty.

Aqua-Therm Almaty 2015 exposition will introduce new products of global consumer and industrial HVAC industry leaders.

It is the first time in the project history that a company from Thailand is taking part in the exhibition - manufacturer of wall-mounted and floor-mounted air conditioners, as well as channel and cartridge air conditioners.

Energy-efficient solutions for utilities will be the main theme of the exhibition.

Despite the development of many different forms of online business, industry-specific exhibitions are still the most effective advertising methods for promotion of products and services in the Kazakhstani market.

When we talk about heating, water supply, ventilation, sanitary systems and various engineering equipment for HVAC industry, undoubtedly the professionals want to try all this out in one place.

This year organizers of the exhibition will also take the event beyond just presentation stands. A special "Hands-on area" project will be launched at Aqua-Therm Almaty 2015 for the first time.

"Hands-on area" is a unique "practical" area to demonstrate the installation and operation of equipment and technologies, as well as the use of energy-efficient products in the environment.

In the center of the hall, the participants of "Hands-on area" event will be continuously demonstrating their innovative technologies and achievements, as well as the efficiency of use of modern energy-efficient technologies and economic benefit, which results from installation of certain products and equipment. Workshops within the "Hands-on area" will be held in the form of discussions and trainings.

The organizers are confident that the "Hands-on area" will allow representatives of construction companies, engineering organizations, heat supply, public utility and water supply companies, who will attend the exhibition, to evaluate the technologies and innovative approaches for the industrial construction and related industries, including the "green ones".

It is to be recalled that the largest construction exhibition in Central Asia - KazBuild 2015 will be held along with the Aqua-Therm Almaty 2015.

Every year the events are officially supported by the Ministry of Investment and Development of Kazakhstan, Ministry of National Economy of Kazakhstan, Committee for Construction, Housing and Land Management of Kazakhstan, and Almaty City Akimat.
