The nrf participates in the annual iiar conference in the following ways. First the foundation operates fundraising events which typically include the golf tournament and may include other events - followed by an nrf vip reception. These events act as both a fundraiser for the nrf as well as a thank-you for all those who contribute. Secondly, the nrf hosts all its college scholarship recipients and pays for their travel, living, and attendance. At the conference, these scholars are provided with details about the natural refrigerant industry, exposed to all aspects of the industry, able to meet and network with industry experts, and able to attend all the available training and technical sessions. During the conference, nrf-funded research projects are presented through technical presentations including the purpose of the project, the project results, and how those results will benefit the natural refrigerant industry.
