1. Hydronics
2. HVAC
3. Kitchen & Bath
4. Plumbing-Pipes, Valves and Fittings

A full roster of nationally acclaimed speakers and topics will be announced shortly.

The second edition of ISH NA is scheduled for Oct. 1-3, 2003, at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

According to show organizers, the inaugural event hosted in Toronto last fall made a positive impression and left attendees and exhibitors eager for the 2003 show. They are projecting 500 exhibitors and 15,000 attendees for 2003.
