Hanley Wood Exhibitions recently wrapped up the 2013 edition of CONSTRUCT, in conjunction with the CSI Annual Convention, at the Music City Center in Nashville, September 24-27. The show surpassed all expectations in attendance numbers, total number of exhibiting companies and square footage of exhibit space while launching new and exciting products, equipment and events. In addition to providing valuable networking opportunities for attendees and exhibitors, 58 education sessions, a general session/keynote and two technical tours were available that offered AIA and GBCI credit.

“By all standards and measurements, CONSTRUCT 2013 and the CSI Annual Convention was a success,” stated Tom Cindric, CONSTRUCT Vice President. “We continue to fine-tune the content and activities to anticipate the needs of today’s commercial building professionals. There was a very positive and optimistic buzz on the show floor. Based on the feedback we have received from both exhibitors and attendees, we have no doubt that growth of CONSTRUCT will continue into 2014 and beyond.”
