The Boston Society of Architects/AIA (BSA) and ResourcePlus Shows & Events will celebrate the 23rd anniversary of Build Boston November 13 - 15 at the Seaport World Trade Center. More than 14,500 building industry professionals from 40 states and 20 countries around the globe are expected to register to attend the region's largest and most respected tradeshow for design, building and management professionals. More than 350 exhibitors will be featured on the show floor, where attendees will have the opportunity to conduct project research to earn continuing education credits.
"This year we focus a good deal of attention on several issues challenging our nation as well as our profession," said Hubert Murray AIA, RIBA, president of the BSA. "Special Build Boston symposia include those focusing on women in design, integrated practice, the Green Revolution in the United Kingdom, green interiors, community design… and a good deal more."
Robert Murray, a leading industry economist from McGraw-Hill Construction, will explain what is in store for the construction industry during his keynote address.
