This is the sixth year of a successful partnership that brings together owners, design teams, contractors and suppliers all under one roof. The purpose of the show is to introduce new construction products, education, and networking to all those involved in the construction industry.

Collaboration is the key to great construction and expected results.

This year’s Expo is collaboration in construction at its best. Many hours have gone into this show to give those attending a firsthand look at the latest of innovations to help any building project be a success and to keep updated on the current topics of interest in construction. The 2nd annual EXPI Award for Sustainable Construction and Innovation will be presented at the Networking event. If your company is involved in any part of the commercial construction industry, this is one event that you can’t miss. We hope to see our construction partners at this year’s show.
