Architects spoke and we listened!
Architects know the value of attending the 2012 Texas Architects Design EXPO. We’ve developed a whole nEW look and feel for the EXPO to grow attendance and exceed our members’ expectations!
Here’s what Attendees will experience:
The Town Square A meeting place for activities ranging from live music, and an Austin-style airstream food trailer to a golf-swing analyzer and virtual bowling; all for a quick meet-and-greet
The Product Showcase An exciting place for Exhibitors to feature new products and services. It also serves as a place to market your already existing products or services
The Convention Welcome Party It has a new name! We want ALL Attendees to ex-perience the value and fun of “opening night” at the Convention with an atmosphere conducive for Exhibitor business
From an architect’s perspective
