But through the resolve of citizens, leadership from the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) and billions of dollars in funding, the region is poised to come back stronger than ever. Lessons learned in the wake of Katrina and Rita need to be shared with professionals and owners who are rebuilding the entire Gulf Region and as well with those at work throughout the nation. Thousands of architects, designers, contractors, developers, planners, building owners, and home owners will be able to choose from over 70+ educational seminars and workshops covering a wide array of topics and product segments, including window and sash repair, door and hardware installation, plaster repair, roofing, siding, ornamental ironwork and paint selection. Traditional building techniques, how-to information and old world craftsmanship will come to life in the Live Demonstration areas throughout the exhibit hall. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
