The Florida Home Builders Association-sponsored Southeast Building Conference will celebrate its 35th anniversary this year and is marking the occasion with changes that it hopes will keep the show vibrant and relevant for years to come.
For the first time in history, SEBC 2013 moves into the new South Hall of the Orange County Convention Center, giving exhibitors and delegates a new venue for the array of building industry products and services displayed at the July 11-13 show.
This year’s schedule has set aside dedicated show hours (noon-3 p.m. each day) for home builders, remodelers, and allied construction-related professionals to tour the displays.
There will be specialty pavilions featuring Hurricane Alley, Green Building, and Masonry.
The Florida Department of Community Affairs sponsors the hurricane-mitigation displays while the Florida Masonry Association presents exhibits as part of its co-location partnership with SEBC.
The New Southern Home is being built by Nathan Cross of NWC Construction and will be a living laboratory for builders and consumers with a keen interest in Green building and energy-efficiency.
The Aurora Award will honor its winners on Saturday evening, July 13, at the Rosen Centre’ Hotel.
