Heat Pump Forum moves to Nürnberg NürnbergMesse delighted with the decision of BWP The decision has been made in favour of Nürnberg: The established Heat Pump Forum organized by the Bundesverband Wärmepumpe e.V. (BWP – Federal Heat Pump Association) now takes place in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 27–28 September 2011 – partly parallel to the European Heat Pump Summit. “These two events belong together. We have been in close contact with NürnbergMesse since 2008. We were very interested in intensifying the focus on heat pumps and concentrating activities in one place. Nürnberg is ideal for this,” says Karl-Heinz Stawiarski, Managing Director of the Bundesverband Wärmepumpe. “The heat pump will become more important in Germany and Europe if both events take place at the same time in Nürnberg,” Stawiarski continues. Richard Krowoza, Member of the Management Board of NürnbergMesse, is equally delighted: “We are very pleased about the decision and will give the 9th Heat Pump Forum and BWP a warm welcome and a professional environment in Nürnberg.” Note the dates 27–28 September 2011, 9th Heat Pump Forum 28–29 September 2011, European Heat Pump Summit Contact at BWP Jasmin Herbell Tel + 49 (0) 30/208 799 711 Fax + 49 (0) 30/208 799 712 herbell@waermepumpe.de ( ) All press articles, more detailed information and photos are available at: www.waermepumpe.de and www.hp-summit.de/press.
