EXHIBITORS

The 21st Century Building Expo & Conference is your best and most affordable way to market to home builders throughout the Southeastern United States. The housing market continues to improve, and builders are interested in new products and services to provide for their clients.

Last year, nearly every attendee that completed the survey said the main thing they would change about the show was to have more vendors. They made the effort to travel to Charlotte and invest their time and money in the 21CBEC, but many products and services were missing.

Wouldn’t you rather be exhibiting than*:

  1. Losing touch with what’s going on in my market
  2. Not knowing what my competition is doing
  3. Forgetting what my client looks like
  4. Not keeping up with my industry network
  5. Losing my clients to a competitor
  6. Cold calling all day (can you say, “Voicemail Hell?”)
  7. Being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the way to a prospect
  8. Cleaning up my database
  9. Deleting out-of-office emails
  10. Sitting in my tiny cube
  11. Not expanding my company network
  12. Enduring another meeting
  13. Having people ask “who is your company?” when I call
  14. Not learning about the newest products
  15. Being stuck in the same old routine

We invite you to capitalize on this opportunity to show home builders how your company can benefit them.

Our team is here to help you with every step of the process.

Select Booth Space

Booth space selection is now open to all companies ... returning and new exhibitors. To get started, take a moment to look at the Expo Hall Virtual Floor Plan to review booth locations available.

Important: Attendees will be visiting the virtual floor plan all year. Be sure your company profile is current and make sure show specials and press releases are posted here so attendees can plan their visit to your booth.
