GreenBuild Expo, San Francisco, CA - 2012 Recap

November 20, 2012

The last architectural trade show of the 2012 season has ended.

What is GreenBuild?

Greenbuild is an annual conference and expo dedicated to sustainability and green building practices. It's one of the world's most significant events for green building professionals, architects, designers, sustainability professionals, and others interested in the sustainable building industry.

The event typically features educational sessions, keynote speakers, workshops, and an expo where companies showcase innovative products, technologies, and services related to sustainable and environmentally friendly building practices.

Greenbuild focuses on various aspects of sustainable construction and design, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, green materials, water conservation, indoor environmental quality, and overall environmental impact reduction in the construction and operation of buildings.

The APC Team At The Show

As anyone who has worked trade shows will attest, they may be very productive, but they are hard work. Between the logistics, the travel set up, staffing and operating the booth, entertaining in the evenings, tear-down, and travel again, it's a good feeling to have it behind you. We want to thank everyone who stopped by our booth. The new V-Series pre-engineered vertical sunshades drew a lot of attention. The second phase of the pre-engineered system will be released in Q1-2013 with the H-Series pre-engineered horizontal sunshades.

It was encouraging to see the international expansion of this show. A noticeable contingency from Brazil was in attendance. One visitor came from New Zealand.

Although some show hours were unconventional and long, the traffic was solid and consistent all day. We even had a man come to our booth as the crew pulled up the aisles. Note that dedication. Conversations included current projects and a very positive outlook for upcoming projects. Some are rather ordinary, while others look to be a fascinating challenge. The ornamental patterns and some unconventional patterns caught many attendees' eyes. As they browsed the booth looking at the samples, you could almost hear the gears turning, "I could use this for an infill panel…." Or "Wouldn't this look great as….". It's great to be part of that creative energy.

GreenBuild 2013 is in Philadelphia, PA. We hope to see you there. Please keep checking the Accurate Perforating website and blog for updates on our trade show and other activities.
