Big Show

The AIA Expo In San Antonio was unbelievably huge. We had allocated about four hours to tour all of the booths. In the first four hours, we had covered about a third of the show. The photo shows one of the three main rooms of the expo. We took brochures from hundreds of exhibitors on materials and equipment. It was a conspicuous overload of information, but very helpful.
One thing that occurred to all three of us was how resource intensive this whole show was. There was an incredible amount of energy and materials invested in transportation, setup, and display. Some of it was noble - we learned a lot about sustainable materials, but some of it was a bunch of the same old stuff.
I'll make posts and references to some of the interesting things we picked up very soon. Each exhibitor swiped our cards for our info. We'll be receiving email and product literature over the next couple of weeks. I'll share as it comes in.
