The Buildings Show & BUILDEX Alberta Collaborate for Virtual Buildings Week

EIN buildingsweek 400

Sept 3, 2020

The Buildings Show and BUILDEX Alberta are coming together to provide a national platform that virtually connects more than 70,000 design, construction and real estate professionals across Canada. 

Given the uncertainties facing all businesses in 2020, including live meetings, BUILDEX has decided for this year only to offer a 100% virtual event as part of Buildings Week, brought to you by The Buildings Show and BUILDEX Alberta. The joint delivery will provide all the benefits of a live show, plus innovative features not possible from an in-person event.

Buildings Week brings together five key events in Canada’s building industry calendar: BUILDEX Alberta, Construct Canada, PM Expo, Homebuilder & Renovator Expo and World of Concrete Toronto Pavilion. This unification has enabled them to develop a powerful online platform for the benefit of attendees, sponsors, speakers and exhibitors.

The event features access to over 120 professionally accredited, educational seminars and extensive networking, as well as a new and innovative digital tradeshow marketplace. Additionally, the virtual experience will be enhanced through AI-driven matchmaking and on-demand access to content, accessible anywhere through mobile or desktop.

BUILDEX Alberta will be hosted 100% virtually November 30 – December 4 and will return to a stronger, live, face-to-face event in 2021.
