Concrete Decor Show 2011 - Where Decorative Concrete Means Business

Exhibit Information

Does your company offer the products, tools, equipment or services that help concrete professionals deliver a better, more sustainable solution for today's construction marketplace?

If so, the Concrete Decor Show & Spring Training, held March 15-18, 2011 in Nashville, Tenn., is a must-attend event for you. As the only trade show focused exclusively on decorative concrete, this is the ideal place to expand your business.

More than 1,500 concrete professionals attended last year's inaugural event. Attendees came from diverse professional backgrounds, including architects and designers, distributors and contractors. In addition, those in attendance specialized in many types of decorative concrete, including countertops, hardscapes, overlays, polishing, staining and more. After last year's positive response and with a new location closer to most people who live in the United States we expect the 2011 Concrete Decor Show & Spring Training to attract over 3,000 people. Those in attendance will continue to represent many areas of the industry, and as an exhibitor, you will be able to spend quality time with those who matter.

To make the most of the Concrete Decor Show, exhibitors can take advantage of exclusive sponsorship opportunities offered during special events. These activities, including the Distributors' Breakfast, the Awards Banquet and more, are designed to help professionals build industry perspective and strategic alliances.

Let your solutions be considered by those who are changing the way the world looks at concrete. Become an exhibitor at the event that is defining decorative concrete and redefining the concrete industry.

Spring Training Information & Hours Nashville Convention Center

Hands-on training is crucial for success, and Spring Training is designed to bring you the techniques your customers want. This year, our hands-on classes will be held at Rocketown, a popular youth center in Nashville. After moving to a site that formerly housed an engine rebuilding plant, Rocketown is in need of some rebuilding of its own.

It's here that the Concrete Decor Show & Spring Training will conduct a charrette with the Middle Tennessee State University Concrete Industry Management Program and The American Institute of Architects to transform the space through numerous hands-on workshops. As an exhibitor, you have the opportunity for your products to be used in these popular courses.

Exhibit Space Assignments
The floor plan for the Concrete Decor Show has been designed to allow maximum traffic flow throughout the exhibit hall. Please review the floor plan prior to making an exhibit space selection. Every effort will be made to accommodate each selection, but exhibitors are encouraged to make additional choices of preferred locations on the exhibit floor. Exhibitors should also indicate competitors they want to avoid in terms of floor placement. Show management reserves the right to make any changes in exhibit space assignments that may be necessary.

Exhibit Preparation, Installation & Teardown
Tennessee is a "right to work" state, therefore, exhibiting companies may install and dismantle their own booths when special equipment is not required. Exhibitors may begin to move in at 1:00 p.m. Monday, March 14, 2011. Heavy equipment displays should begin setup on this day. The Concrete Decor Show decorator will provide an online Exhibitor Service Manual to assist in exhibit planning and installation. The Concrete Decor Show has negotiated inbound and outbound material handling services to provide exhibiting companies with the best pricing available. Equipment weight is based on a sliding scale. Dismantling and removal of exhibits will begin no sooner than the close of the exhibit floor at 2:00 p.m. Friday, March 18, 2011. Exhibitors will be allowed limited vehicle access on the exhibit hall floor at specified times during move-in and move-out.
