Although the event almost a year away, ASHRAE is already looking for submissions for its 2014 annual conference. 

Most of the topics for the 2014 event, which will take place June 28 to July 2 in Seattle, will be broken down along “tracks,” officials with the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers said. Abstracts were due Sept. 23. Accepted papers are due Jan. 9, 2014.
