Registration is now open for the first digital Offsite Construction Expo of 2020, which will feature educational presentations, digital booths from industry exhibitors, and person-to-person communication over video and chat
The first virtual Offsite Construction Expo of 2020 targets the western half of the United States and is sponsored by the Modular Building Institute (MBI).
The two-day digital expo will start on 16 September and conclude 17 September.
The expo will closely follow the format of previous in-person events and will feature educational presentations, digital booths from industry exhibitors, and person-to-person communication over video and chat.
This event will mark the sixth year that MBI has sponsored the Offsite Construction Expos.
While this event had been planned as a live event in Denver, Colorado, US, attendees and exhibitors alike will still benefit from the variety of modular vendors and component suppliers all in one virtual room.
Past expo exhibitors have included offsite construction contractors, traditional contractors that have integrated offsite methods, offsite factories, transportation companies, BIM suppliers, materials suppliers, and consultants of all types of offsite construction processes.
A number of MBI members exhibit at the Offsite Construction Expos on a regular basis.
Exhibitors at the Denver digital expo include the following companies:
- Modular Building Institute
- Innovative Structural Engineering
- Johns Manville
- Precision Structural Engineering
- Guerdon, LLC
- Horizon North Logistics Inc.
- ICC Evaluation Service
- neUdesign Architecture
- Z Modular
- BestGen Modular
- Phoenix Modular Elevator
- USG Structural Panels
Dave Sikora, OSCE’s business development director, said: “We’re very excited to be bringing the excitement of OSCE online.
“There’s no doubt that Covid has presented some challenges for us, but we think this Expo is really going to exceed expectations.”
If you are interested in learning about the offsite construction industry in the United States, the Offsite Construction Expo is the place to be. This event is only $199 for all attendees.
Speakers at the Denver expo
Speakers at the Denver expo include MBI member Shawn Lothrop, CEO of Innovative Structural Engineering. He’ll be speaking about the advantages and value of structural engineering for modular and offsite construction. John Beddow, CEO of Guerdon, LLC, will be addressing affordable housing. Rhys Kane’s (Horizon North) session will also explore the topic. Chris Waters from Z Modular will speak on new markets and challenges for modular construction and Troy Tiddens (neUdesign Architecture) will speak on the means and methods of offsite design.
