Kick off your Annual Conference with an exclusive invitation to our Emerging Professional Welcome Event that’s equal parts networking, learning, and exploring! We’re heading next door to the Phoenix Convention Center for a behind-the-scenes tour of its underground water-cooling plant and sustainability initiatives.

Phoenix isn’t called the Valley of the Sun for nothing—summer temps here can skyrocket past 110°F (43°C). Keeping a massive space like the Convention Center cool is no easy feat, but this underground water plant makes it happen while supporting the center’s ambitious sustainability goals. You’ll see firsthand how the system stores chilled water to efficiently cool the building during peak heat, saving energy and reducing the environmental impact.

After the cooling plant, we’ll tour the Convention Center itself to learn how it’s making a big difference in sustainable event planning. Whether you’re into green initiatives or just curious about what keeps Phoenix chill, this is your chance to connect with peers and new connections and geek out about some seriously cool (literally!) technology.

Don’t miss it—this is the perfect way to start your week!
