Though it still seems far away, things are ramping up here for the 2011 National Institute of Building Sciences Annual Meeting. Scheduled for December 5-9 in Washington, D.C., the event will be held in conjunction with the Ecobuild America Conference at the Washington Convention Center. It is a great opportunity for product manufacturers and service providers like you to reach Institute members and the wider building community.
If you exhibited at last year’s conference, I would like to thank you for your participation and I hope you will return again this year. If you were unable to attend the 2010 conference, you missed an event full of stellar programs, interesting exhibits and many opportunities to network with attendees. As the sponsor of Ecobuild America, we at the Institute are excited to see the variety of programs scheduled for this year’s event. In addition to FEDCon® ’11, our Institute councils and committees will be holding their meetings and a number of related educational programs.
For example, the buildingSMART alliance has more than 30 technical sessions planned, with topics addressing building information modeling (BIM) in education, geospatial information systems (GIS) and BIM, CAD and BIM standards, green BIM and the BIM experience. Other related activities include the BETEC Symposium, Advanced Materials Symposium, Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie); Specifiers’ Properties information exchange (SPie) and Life Cycle information exchange (LCie). As an information technology vendor or building product manufacturer, exhibiting at Ecobuild offers the perfect outlet for you to reach professionals interested in attending these BIM-related and building performance programs.
With thousands of attendees selecting from tracks focused on building performance and technology; green building and sustainable design; and sustainable sites and infrastructure; the Ecobuild America Conference is the perfect place to get the word out about your product or service.
