DesignBUILD 2-4 April 2014 Melbourne

Design, build and construction exhibitors
sign on to the industry's largest dedicated trade event

DesignBUILD 2014 is officially off to a strong start with exhibitors and sponsors already signed to showcase a huge variety of innovations to the industry, with the show opening at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 2 - 4 April, 2014.

Exhibition Manager Chris May said many exhibitors had signed on after the success experienced at DesignBUILD Sydney this year, realising the opportunity to present their products, applications, tools and equipment to the Melbourne market.

"DesignBUILD continues to gain momentum year on year as we attract more visitors with our improved features, dedicated tradie and professional zones, innovative exhibitors, inspiring speakers and informative workshops," he said.

DesignBUILD is Australia's largest and most comprehensive trade-only industry event, attracting hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of industry visitors each year. The show rotates biannually between Sydney and Melbourne. According to Mr May, DesignBUILD continues to grow in popularity with its easy to navigate floorplan and relevant industry zones and features.

"We know trades and professionals are time poor but we also know that they want access to the latest industry innovations, information, equipment and ideas, so we plan the exhibitor floorplan in conjunction with industry experts to ensure it's easy to navigate to key areas of interest.

"We also work alongside leading industry organisations to offer seminars and workshops with content that captures the industry's current needs and demands for accurate and reliable information, so that we can create a one stop shop for all the design, building and construction industry trades and professionals," he said.

In 2014, DesignBUILD will showcase a range of features and exhibitors including:
