Unprecedented Support Builds for AEC – Science & Technology and Ecobuild America
More than 80 industry associations and publications involved in the first-year event.
Exton, PA (PRWEB) May 18, 2005 -- The leading professional associations and
publications in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and GIS industries
are rallying behind the new AEC – Science & Technology and SBIC’s Ecobuild
America Conferences, June 20 – 23, in Orlando, Florida.
“This is a first
– to gather all the industries that create the built environment,” noted Helen
English, Executive Director, Sustainable Building’s Industry Council (SBIC). “A
dozen other conferences and workshops are co-located with these events – what
better opportunity do you have to meet with the entire, decision making team?”
English observed. “They’ve done a great job of pulling together the players that
are the next generation of the eco-movement.”
“They” are the leaders of
this collaborative conference effort, RCG Productions, LLC. The company’s three
principals set their sights on creating a top-notch, cutting-edge technology
showcase for the AEC/GIS industry, and judging by the support they’ve earned
already, they’ve hit the mark.
Greg Yoko, Editor-in-Chief, Land
Development Today, agrees, “We are thrilled to be participating with these
events. The fact that we’re reaching professionals from the many disciplines
involved in the land development process is what excited us about becoming
affiliated. In fact, Land Development Today felt so strongly about the need and
benefit of Ecobuild America that it is sponsoring multiple sessions in
June.”
Yoko adds, “The interest and feedback we’ve received from our
subscribers has been so positive, it’s convinced us to launch the “Land
Development Breakthroughs – Best Practices Conference” this December, which
we’ll co-locate with SBIC’s Ecobuild Federal, AEC – Science & Technology
Federal and FEDcon events, December 13 - 16, 2005, in Washington DC.”
The RCG principals, Richard Vendola, Chris Gibson and George Borkovich
are familiar faces in these industries. Former executives at A/E/C SYSTEMS, they
crafted the leading technology forum for the AEC audience until the late 90’s.
Since then, their close alliance with key associations, publications, and
societies have propelled them to respond to this new market opportunity and
launch these premier industry events.
“The overwhelming support we’ve
received from so many leading, well-respected organizations underscores what
we’ve believed for so long,” reflects Gibson. “The built environment industry is
primed for new, innovative events that directly address information technology,
sustainable design, green construction, environmental planning and
high-performance buildings.”
Vendola observes, “This is a truly
remarkable first-year feat. At the rate we’re enrolling publications and
associations, we should top 100. No other event we know of, for the audience we
serve, has drawn the widespread grass-roots support we are
getting.”
