Buildex Promotes Building Green

Posted by Andree Iffrig Oct 18, 2009

Buildex offers one of the most cost effective and valuable trade shows on the circuit. For a price that is sweet by any standard, Buildex informs and connects professionals from a wide variety of fields: property management, interior design, architecture, renovation, construction and real estate.

As part of an increasing focus on sustainable design and building, Buildex is offering more than a dozen green seminars during its upcoming two day trade show in Calgary, November 3-4, 2009. From a session on waste diversion for renovations, to seminars on building HVAC systems that perform to green standards, this year's trade show in Calgary is bursting with talent and food for thought.

Buildex Calgary's keynote speaker is author Jeremy Gutsche, who will deliver a presentation based on his book, Exploiting Chaos: How to Spark Innovation During Times of Change. Gutsche will engage the audience in understanding how to leverage viral trends and methodical innovation to generate breakthrough ideas.

This writer will be attending seminars on cradle to cradle design and water conservation and efficiency. Choosing between seminars, when there are so many enticing ones running simultaneously, will be the most difficult thing I do over the two days.

As a bonus for attending, professionals can accumulate credits for their professional accreditation with the Alberta Association of Architects, Interior Designers of Alberta and BOMA Calgary.

No trade show is complete without time to schmooze and Buildex is no exception. Form the opening Meet & Greet reception to interactions on the trade show floor, there will be ample opportunities for networking with other professionals.

Registration is still open. Visit the Buildex Calgary website for further information. Upcoming trade shows are planned for Vancouver and Edmonton in April and March 2010 respectively.
