| Plan Expo Launches With Strong Focus On Eco-friendly Products The CIF and the RIAI, along with Expo Events – organiser of Plan Expo - announced increased prominence for EcoBuild at this year's show, which will take place at the RDS, Simmonscourt on 3rd – 5th November 09. With EcoBuild now commandeering almost 50% of floor space at the show, this year's exhibition will demonstrate how the construction landscape has changed vastly over the last few years. A genuine desire on the part of building professionals to be environmentally-friendly – coupled with the introduction of recent legislative requirements - has resulted in an explosion of eco-related products onto the marketplace. Mirroring the fact that sustainable and renewable materials are a rapidly growing part of the market, EcoBuild is now a stand alone exhibition, running in tandem with Plan Expo 2009. Ecobuild will have its own distinct identity, an EcoBuild Conference Theatre and a range of dedicated seminars and workshops. Garret Buckley, Joint Managing Director of Expo Events comments; "Always the highlight of the building calendar, Plan Expo has been synonymous with Ireland's construction sector for 26 years and is regularly attended by thousands of building professionals. The CIF and RIAI, along with Expo Events, are determined to steam ahead with Plan Expo and aim to ensure the future of the construction industry." Plan Expo 2009 will see the return of the Product of the Show Awards, recognised as the industry's ultimate accolade for building and eco products. This mark of excellence gives winners additional exposure at the show and as a result, has very real, commercial advantages. With it more important than ever to demonstrate stability and a positive public demeanour, Plan Expo and EcoBuild are the perfect opportunity to meet with customers and build for the future, providing invaluable face to face interaction between exhibitors and visitors. Business will be done and the direct dialogue will help establish strong and valuable trading relationships between companies. 81% visitors to last year's show had purchasing power which shows just how important it is for companies to be present at Plan Expo and Eco Build. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Exhibition News :: home page |
