HARDI - The Heating, Airconditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International - has once again raised the bar for themselves with their 2005, Annual Fall Conference held Oct. 29-Nov. 1, 2005, at the magnificent JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix, AZ. Comments ranged from "These are the best speakers I've ever heard" to, "Sunday night's supplier-sponsored opening reception was the best yet" and "The design of this hotel was the perfect background for invaluable networking and relationship-building opportunities" to "I found the schedule, location and setting the perfect mix to recharge my business and personal energy." It can be said that for the over 1,300 HVACR distribution executives in attendance, HARDI has again set the standard by which all others are compared.
