Pacific Building Trade Expo Booth Spaces are Selling Fast!

Honolulu - The Ninth Annual Pacific Building Trade Expo (PBTE) sponsored by HONBLUE, Inc. and produced in conjunction with the Honolulu Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Honolulu Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) has sold well over half of its booth spaces with returning and wait listed exhibitors from last year's Expo.

Barbie Rosario, of BK Corporate Coordinators, Inc., show administration consultant, has announced that "Exhibitors have responded enthusiastically and booth sales are stronger than last year." Booth Sales are now open to new exhibitors.

"There is no vehicle like the PBTE in our marketplace that touches the design and building profession with as long-lasting effect and market penetration as ours, and we invite those sponsors who have not participated in the past to try it out, it will be worth the investment!" stated David Kaahaaina, AIA, former AIA President.

For the seventh year running the Expo will be held at the Hawai'i Convention Center but now located in the larger main exhibit hall on the ground floor. The one-day Expo is the largest trade exposition serving Hawai'i's building design professionals, owners and contractors. The Expo features the latest building products and services from hundreds of suppliers. It also offers a full schedule of continuing education sessions addressing current issues, innovations and techniques within the building design industry. Topics include computer technology, sustainable design, building systems, and professional practice issues, and there are special exhibits by association co-sponsors. Over 1,600 architects, specifiers, interior designers, engineers, contractors, educators, government officials and building management professionals attended the 2007 Expo.

Admission to the Pacific Building Trade Expo is free and exclusive to building industry professionals, including contractors, suppliers, government officials, maintenance engineers and those who work within the building industry.
