The changing of the leaves heralds more than just fall in southern Ontario – trade show season kicks off in full force with two heavyweights: IIDEX/The Green Building Festival and Construct Canada.
IIDEX and The Green Building Festival – connecting the Interior Design Show and The Green Building Festival, this event always showcases new products and some very interesting design competitions. It features a range of professional seminars that are current and thought-provoking. Based on its image and design focus, I’ll need to get a bit more dressed up as it lime-lights some pretty posh attendees – sadly no jeans and work boots here.
Construct Canada – 3 shows in 1, with an emphasis on durable products and leading-edge technologies for all aspects of construction. The continuing education selection is second to none here and it’s a great venue for connecting with the most current information surrounding the sustainability movement and green building in general. It’s the must-attend event every year and this one can be experienced in boots and jeans (albeit clean ones).
OIDB won’t be exhibiting at either show but the team will be in attendance, soaking up plenty of new stuff and reconnecting with colleagues. Hope to see you there.
