Dallas, Texas, October 12, 2009 CONSTRUCT2010, the 54th CSI Annual Convention and The TFM Show, are powering up for the May, 2010 event at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA. Complementing the full exhibit hall floor and the expert-led education program, a student competition, technical tours, special events and a complete schedule of CSI activities are planned. Thousands of architects, engineers, contractors, specifiers, facility managers and other key professionals will be attending to earn learning credits, to network with peers and to find new products, innovative solutions and the latest in technology for the institutional, industrial and commercial building industry.
The substantial education program offers the opportunity to earn learning credits for AIA/CES, CSI CEN, IFMA/CFM, BOMI/CPO and REFP/CEFPI. Not only will esteemed industry speakers address classroom audiences, on-the-show-floor instruction will be available in the Education Pavilion. Advanced sessions will be available in a one-day White Paper Symposium presenting insight into the Future of the Architect in 2025.
Non-conflicting classroom and exhibit hall hours allow for ample time to explore the show floor. With about 7 months before the event, over 60% of the available booth space is already filled with companies specializing in relevant, innovative, efficient and sustainable products and services. Some returning exhibitors have even increased the size of their footprint in anticipation of another successful event.
"Philadelphia is a hub of architectural activity boasting historic buildings as well as renowned, new construction and renovation." states Jayne Dalton, Show Manager. "This dynamic city is walkable, friendly, diverse and full of history, culture, fine restaurants and fun attractions that will draw and entertain our attendees."
CONSTRUCT2010 and The TFM Show are both owned and produced by Hanley Wood. The event will take place May 11-14 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, in conjunction with the 54th CSI Annual Convention. Online Attendee registration opens mid-January, 2010.
