The opening ceremony was a grand event, with the Deputy Prime Minister (who also serves as Minister for Energy Transition) in attendance.
The exhibits was relatively compact, with almost no large-scale equipment exhibits, perhaps due to the narrow width of each booth. In addition to equipment exhibits from overseas, mainly from Japan, China, and Korea, there were also notable exhibits from Chinese parts manufacturers. While refrigerant conversion was only promoted in some areas, there were also exhibits showcasing examples of refrigerant recovery and reclamation efforts.
