The tradeshow—free to architects, designers, specifiers, purchasing agents, hotel owners and managers, design students, and educational professionals—will boast 150 exhibitors showcasing the latest in hospitality products on the sold-out show floor. There will also be an hour-long CEU session entitled "The Well Covered Wall" by National Wallcovering and the Wallcovering Association (IDCEC approved).
"This is a fabulous course for anyone specifying or installing commercial wallcoverings," says Ryan Partin, president, NEWH/Atlanta Chapter. "Why use paint when you can put art on the wall? The CEU will cover construction, project planning, installation and maintenance. The best part is the refresher from Maureen Blair on how to figure take-offs, which allows design and purchasing to verify if the contractor or installer is providing accurate quantities."
There are two $500 door prizes, free lunch from Noon-1:00 p.m., and a cocktail party with hors d'oeuvres and cash bar from 5:00-6:00 p.m. An after-party extravaganza, "Midnight in the Garden," will give vendors an opportunity to showcase their product in a real hospitality setting, explains Partin.
"The NEWH Regional Tradeshow offers both exhibitors and attendees the face-to-face contact which is so important. In addition, since the booths are six-by-six, the shows are small and intimate and attendees are able to see numerous amount of product and samples in one day," says Jena Seibel, tradeshow/marketing manager, NEWH, Inc.
Adds Partin, "The tradeshow is the perfect event to allow designers, purchasing agents, sales reps, and vendors to connect on what the most current products can offer. Design studios will benefit by increasing the clientele and informing sales reps/vendors what they need to increase the success of current and future design projects. Basically it's a way to get everyone on the same page to prosper amongst this ever changing and exciting business of creativity."
More Regional Tradeshows are scheduled for 2012, including New York (June 22nd), Denver (August 9th), and Dallas (October). For more information about the regional tradeshows, log on to www.newh.org/regional-tradeshows/newh-regional-tradeshow-information.
