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.”
