Boston, MA The leading building industry event in the Northeast is back this fall. The Architecture Boston Expo (ABX), produced by the Boston Society of Architects (BSA), brings 10,000 A/E/C professionals together over three days to peruse products and services on the show floor, partake in one or a dozen workshops, and party-on at happy hours, receptions, and shindigs.

The exhibit hall is stocked with the latest in industry trends along with structures, hands-on demonstrations, and project displays from vendors, contractors, BSA members, and emerging professionals. At this year’s show, attendees can tour a tiny house, designed and built by a fellow colleague and longtime ABX attendee, Tracey Powell. The BSA Central lounge area will be transformed to an indoor park with furnishing provided by M.E. O’Brien & Sons and Walpole Woodworkers atop turf by the New England Turf Store. It’s the ideal meeting spot in the center of the floor and now the perfect spot for a rest in a hammock. The New England Regional Council of Carpenters will have a live demonstration of intricate floor work with an INSTALL-certified member. There is honestly something to discover in each aisle of the ABX floor.

Knowing the importance of networking in the building industry, ABX provides ample networking and professional development opportunities over the three days. Starting with the popular ABX Social on Tuesday and continuing with alumni and association events on Wednesday night, there is a gathering for all tastes and topics.

Admission to the exhibit hall is free when attendees register with the promo code NER15W at abexpo.com. Workshops can be purchased a la carte and some special daylong packages are available. ABX takes place November 17 -19, at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
