Organisers of Adaptation 2027 have extended the deadline for abstract submissions to 8 September 2026 following exceptional interest from the global RACHP sector.
Researchers, industry professionals and technical specialists are invited to submit abstracts showcasing case studies, innovations, research findings and expert insights that explore the vital role of RACHP technology in climate adaptation.
Abstracts should address one of the conference's key themes:
- Managing Risk
- Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
- The Future Landscape of RACHP
Building on the success of the inaugural event in 2025, Adaptation 2027 will take place from 8 to 10 March 2027 at Austin Court, Birmingham, UK. Organised by the Institute of Refrigeration (IOR), the conference will bring together leading international experts to examine how the cooling sector can respond to the challenges posed by rising temperatures and increasingly frequent heatwaves.
