Orlando to win country’s biggest trade shows four years straight

Saturday, 13 Jul, 2005 0

The Orange County Convention Center announced that it has pocketed the National Association of Home Builders, the Washington, D.C.-trade group that owns the International Builders’ Show

The giant show made its Orlando debut in January and was to come back in 2007, then return for 2011 and 2012.

The builders had booked a two-years with Atlanta, but realized that the city’s convention center was too small, so they forfeited their $2.6 million deposit and are switching to Orland, who spent months of scrambling to rearrange meeting space and hotel rooms for more than a half-dozen groups to accommodate the builders.

Earlier this year, the builders used all 1.2 million square feet of the Orange County Convention Center’s west side and about half of the 972,000-square-foot North/South Building on the east side.

The show set an attendance record for the builders of 104,922 participants. More than 1,600 exhibitors showed off their wares and services.
