The Boston Society of Architects (BSA) is proud to announce ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX)—a new tradeshow and conference that will be the most comprehensive building-industry event in New England. In launching ABX, the BSA, long-time co-producer of Build Boston and Residential Design & Construction, can now better serve the profession under one unified brand along with its flagship publication, ArchitectureBoston.
The BSA has recently unveiled ambitious plans to help building-industry professionals broaden their networks and opportunities. These initiatives include moving into expanded quarters at the Atlantic Wharf complex on Fort Point Channel. In addition to conference rooms and staff offices, the new BSA Space features a 6,000 s/f gallery that, beginning in January 2012, will be open to the public seven days a week.
ABX will be held November 14-16 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
