The Build and Design Queensland expo will open its doors to the design, architecture, building, construction and property development industry for the first time on Wednesday 9 May.
According to Exhibition Manager, Michael-William Kelly, this expo comes at a perfect time.
“Following a year of disasters with floods and cyclones, a year of recovery is on its way with the rebuilding of devastated areas, but there are also fresh construction projects on the horizon with significant international events including the Commonwealth Games.”
Kelly says that opening the expo to the industry will help support an industry dedicated to reconstruction projects, new projects and foster an emerging design culture.
“New building contracts, as well as rebuilding projects, must be done with a sustainable focus implementing forward thinking design and planning that is tailored to Queensland and its natural environment. The Build and Design Queensland expo brings together leading industry associations, cutting edge suppliers and inspirational seminars, making it a must-attend event for any professional in the Queensland design, architecture, building, construction or development industries,” said Kelly.
Co-located with the Australian Institute of Architects National Architecture Conference and CEDIA expo, Build and Design Queensland will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 9-11 May and is free for industry professionals who register online.
Designed specifically for the Queensland market, the Build and Design Queensland expo will have over 130 leading exhibitors, a CPD accredited seminar program and daily special events.
Sessions with an environmental focus such as ‘Energex Building – 6 Star’ panel discussion, ‘Sustainable Tropical Design’ and ‘Delivering green – what you need to know’ and other product specific seminars will also be featured at the expo.
