The Blue Book of Building and Construction to Host Industry Networking Events Nationwide This April!
Westchester, N.Y. In its continued mission to connect construction industry buyers and sellers, The Blue Book has put together regional networking events offering exhibiting general contractors or anyone who manages projects an opportunity to meet and qualify area subcontractors and suppliers who are looking to promote their services and products.
These trade show-like events, taking place on April 20th, 25th, 26th and 27th are free of charge to exhibitors and attendees. An exhibit space and table are provided to the exhibiting GCs and complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages are also included for all.
Coming off the heels of seven successful shows in 2005, GC Showcase 2006 has expanded to cover 20 regions, with an additional 10 events scheduled in October.
“GC Showcase 2006 clearly demonstrates The Blue Book’s commitment to bringing buyers and sellers together. It’s not often that buyers of construction products and services get a no-cost opportunity to meet and qualify local sellers in one place at one time. We are pleased to be able to offer this value- added service to the industry in so many locations nationwide,” explained Rich Johnson, General Manager of The Blue Book.
The enclosed schedule provides details on specific locations and times for the April events.
