ArchitectureBoston Expo

ABXshowBooths Boston – ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX) is just around the corner, October 28 – 30 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The largest building industry event in the Northeast hosts over 400 exhibitors, 175 workshops and tours, and dozens of networking opportunities.

The show kicks off with the annual opening night party, the ABX Social. It’s a once-a-year opportunity to be in the same room with exhibitors, industry colleagues, and BSA members. Tickets  include one free drink and a one-year digital subscription to AZURE magazine. The social component of the show continues on the second night with various alumni and association receptions. And, you are sure to find a happy hour somewhere on the show floor starting at 4 p.m.

The sold-out show floor welcomes new and returning exhibitors but all with products and services that are relevant to attendees and pertinent to their day-to-day. You will also find structures, projects, and designs from the industry throughout the hall. A Circus for Construction is an added exhibit on the floor.

The Circus, located in a custom-fabricated trailer, is a traveling event space for collecting, constructing, and exhibiting works of art and architecture on the back of a truck. Funded in the majority through a wave of support on Kickstarter, the Circus for Construction represents a public desire for a new type of exhibition and event platform.

The project is the work of Ann Lui, Ashley Mendelsohn, Larisa Ovalles, Ben Widger, and Craig Reschke, a design collective of young architects based in Somerville.

Workshops spanning tracks on Case Studies and Project Types, Business Management and Development, and Multifamily Housing are led by industry experts over the three days of ABX. Workshop packages are available, and early-bird pricing is available for sessions when you register by October 14.
