The Maine Indoor Air Quality Council (MIAQC) has partnered with Healthy Indoors Magazine/ IAQnet LLC, to bring their annual regional conference to a global audience. That event, formally billed as the “MIAQC Northeast IAQ & Energy Conference,” has a new name: IAQ & ENERGY 2018, and a potentially lot bigger audience.

We’re taking the MIAQC’s 19th annual regional conference to new levels, with an expanded group of presentations from leading industry experts, the option to attend either In-person in Portland, ME or Online via a live-streamed video—plus, the added value of access for all attendees to video recordings from the sessions after the event, included in the registration price!  

IAQ & Energy 2018 has a ton of value to anyone involved with indoor environmental, building performance, or energy/sustainable building practices. This conference is known for its great content and surprisingly low cost. How can we make it even better? Expanded content, new Online Attendee option, and now, a discounted price!
