An overview of various industry conventions and expos coming up in 2019
The end of the year brings a time for performance reviews of the current year and plans for next year. While you are probably working on budgets, marketing strategies and high-level goals, be sure to include detailed planning for construction industry events that can benefit your team and business.
In addition to seeing the latest and greatest the industry has to offer, conventions and expos provide unique and concentrated opportunities to network, expand your industry knowledge and catch up on continuing education credits. If you are a manufacturer or supplier, it is the ideal time to showcase your latest products, connect with customers and meet newcomers to the industry that could benefit from your offerings.
