Deck Expo & Remodeling Show to Co-Locate

DeckExpo and Remodeling Show, both owned by Hanley Wood Exhibitions, will collocate Oct. 28-30, 2009, at the Indiana Convention Center & RCA Dome in Indianapolis.“These two events are a natural fit,” said Amy Allen, associate show director for both. “Both the remodeler and deck builder are craftsmen who are constantly looking for education to stay ahead of their customers and to grow their businesses.”

Since Hanley Wood acquired DeckExpo in 2006, it has grown from 26,400 net square feet to more than 35,000 net sq. ft., Allen said. The most recent show was March 5-6 at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center. Remodeling Show will take place Sept. 10-12 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

In 2009, the two events will have separate exhibit hall entrances, but attendees will be able to visit both events, officials said. Allen said each show will offer separate conference programs, but some of the general business classes will be open to attendees from both events.
