I-RIM Conference Takes Reflective Insulation Message Abroad

Conference Slated For Barcelona, Spain In June

Olathe, KS — In 2007 the Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Association International (RIMA-I) held its first global conference. Since that show in Paris, France, the association’s international efforts have continued to expand along with the membership and the industry as a whole. And with that growth and expansion, the need to share information abroad has increased as well.

It is with that in mind that the International Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Conference (I-RIM Conference) has been created. It will be held June 21-23, 2010, at the Hotel Avenida Palace in Barcelona, Spain. The I-RIM Conference will provide guests with the insight and education on what is happening within the industry and exclusive access to the most knowledgeable experts in the field.

Each workshop will be presented by experts from various regions of the world including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia and cover such topics as: The State of Reflectives; Thermal Performance: Analysis and Testing; Radiant Barriers: Experiments, Modeling & Simulation; Determination of Thermal Emittance; Stability of Metalized Films and Foils; Large-Scale Testing; Applications Around the World; current and ongoing research and more. There will also be open forum discussions and an opening night social event which will provide guests additional opportunity to network and learn more about the industry with peers.

Corporate sponsors of the conference include Dunmore Corporation, Venture Tape, KdB Isolation S.A., Reflectix Inc., Astro-Foil International and RoyOMartin.

The event's keynote speaker will be Emilio Mitre, Director of International Affairs for the World Green Building Council España. Mitre is one of the best known Spanish sustainable architects and co-owner of a very prestigious private architectural practice named ALIA, Arquitectura, Energía y Medio Ambiente S.l.
