Master Builders of Iowa

Booths in 2011 Sold Out . . . Don’t Miss Your Chance to Exhibit in 2012!

We are inviting your firm to MAKE AN IMPACT at this year’s Construction Expo & Iowa Construction Industry Convention!  The Iowa Construction Expo is a great opportunity for you to reach a large targeted audience in only one day. The new show format in 2011 was created for exhibitors, by exhibitors and was extremely successful, so we are keeping the format for 2012! 

Another important aspect of the 2012 Convention is its pairing with the Master Builders of Iowa’s Centennial Celebration.  MBI will be celebrating 100 years and special events will take place throughout the duration of the convention, which is anticipated to bring in record numbers in attendance! A couple of the planned celebrations include:
 

• A Centennial Gala to kick off the Convention on the evening of February 20, 2012 in the newly renovated ballroom at the Iowa Events Center.
• An Equipment of the Decades Display in the Exhibit Hall on February 21, 2012 with various items, equipment and photos on display from the past 100 years.

A glance at the key elements for the 2012 Expo is as follows:

• 1-Day Show / February 21, 2012 – Catch your target audience on the main day of Convention events, including the annual Safety Conference, professional development seminars, Safety Awards Breakfast, MBI Awards Luncheon, Construction Industry Reception and the Equipment of the Decades display.
• 3 Ways to Display – Choose from three different exhibiting options for 2012.  You are able to exhibit in one of the areas or package the different options together for maximum exposure to all those in attendance and receive greater savings!

o Education Row Exhibit Space – Tables positioned in the seminar hallway, capturing a heavy flow of traffic at every seminar break.  A map of this space will be available upon completion of the construction project at the Iowa Events Center.
o Exhibit Hall Booth – The traditional 10 X 10 booth space, maximizing audience participation by encompassing the dining and awards presentation area. 
o Exhibit Hall Equipment Space – Blocks of space will be available in the Exhibit Hall for large equipment, vehicles or very large displays.

• Online Expo – All exhibitors will have the option of displaying their products and services in the online expo at no additional charge.
• Competitive Pricing - Please see the enclosed brochure for further pricing information.  Package pricing is available at a discounted rate.
