Why This Event Matters (More Than Ever)
From allergies to infections, poor indoor air silently affects millions, yet most buildings still don’t treat air like a health asset.
That’s changing.
This exclusive event, hosted by Knauf North America and the iAIR Institute, brings together three of the most respected voices in health and building science:
- Professor Mark Hernandez, Environmental Engineer, University of Colorado Boulder
- Dr. Stephanie Taylor, Physician & Infection Control Strategist
- Dr. John McKeon, CEO, Airmid Healthgroup & Medical Director, iAIR Institute

From left to right: Professor Mark Hernandez (University of Colorado Boulder), Dr. Stephanie Taylor (Taylor Healthcare Consulting), and Dr. John McKeon (Airmid Healthgroup & iAIR Institute)
They’ll explore:
- The silent but overlooked risks of indoor air
- The science and technology transforming IAQ
- What you can do – whether you’re in healthcare, design, construction, or policy
If You’re In the Room, You’re Ahead of the Curve
Expect deep conversations.
Real solutions.
And the chance to meet like-minds committed to transforming how we live and breathe.
Where: Carcara in downtown Phoenix, a space built to spark better air and better ideas.
