November 6, 2009, Dallas, TX – Today, Hanley Wood Exhibitions announced that the inaugural event of the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo will co-locate with the Remodeling Show in 2010. Both exhibitions, along with DeckExpo, will be held at the Baltimore Convention Center, September 15 -17, with conference seminars beginning September 14. Owned and operated by Hanley Wood Exhibitions, the Remodeling Show is officially sponsored by NAHB, NAHB Remodelers and Remodeling magazine. The Plumbing + Hydronics Expo is owned and produced by Messe Frankfurt North America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Messe Frankfurt GmbH, Germany's leading trade fair organizer, publicly owned by the city of Frankfurt and the State of Hesse.
"These two events are a natural fit," said Amy Allen, Show Director for the Remodeling Show. "Baltimore is a strong venue for the Remodeling Show and in close proximity to a concentrated audience of remodeling and residential contractors. In general, many remodelers have multiple specialty contractor resources for their ?behind-the-wall' work, including plumbing, HVAC and mechanical contractors. Hosting the exhibitions side-by-side will provide both audiences with a wider array of opportunities to grow their current businesses and provide even greater value for their time."
"We are pleased to announce the launch of the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo to serve an important market in an accessible region," states David Audrain, president of Messe Frankfurt, Inc. "By offering a focused event in the highly concentrated Mid-Atlantic region and co-locating with The Remodeling Show, this event will be beneficial to significantly more buyers, and make it even more valuable for our exhibiting companies."
The co-location will allow both groups access to a much larger base of innovative manufacturers, quality education and a platform for networking with industry peers. Although the events will be adjacent to each other in the exhibit hall, they will each have unique entrances, registration, conference education, exhibit space and marketing programs. Attendees will be able to pass through both exhibit areas in the hall with one registration.
