CONSTRUCT Prices Go Up at Midnight

Contributed by Eric D. Lussier

Followers of the Let's Fix Construction blog know of our adoration and appreciation of the CONSTRUCT conference, held annually in the Fall.  Born originally as the Construction Specifications Institute's (CSI) annual meeting and trade show, CONSTRUCT continues in its dedication to bring together all disciplines in the AEC industry.

Much like the membership of CSI, you can join Architects, Designers, Specifiers, Engineers, Contractors, Construction Managers, Owners, Product Representatives, and Manufacturers at this event.  Starting Wednesday, October 9th and concluding Friday the 11th, National Harbor, Maryland is the location for this years conference. 

From Emerging Professionals Day to 50+ accredited education sessions, from 175+ exhibitors to the demo and learning theater, from CSI Night Out to the latest event to be added, Product Rep University, CONSTRUCT is truly the conference to attend if you are in the construction industry.

This early posting of the weekly Let's Fix Construction blog is meant to save you money if you plan on attending CONSTRUCT.  Registration is open and early bird rates expire Monday the 24th at midnight.  

This year will be my ninth consecutive CONSTRUCT show attended and I consider it to be the bargain of the AEC industry.  Its foolish not to save money in this day and age if you can, so I implore you to take advantage of these rates before they go up at midnight. Just $420 for a Construction Specifications Institute member and $460 for a non-member today, these rates go up to $550/$625 starting on Tuesday the 25th.

And if you're interested in only attending Emerging Professionals Day or the Product Rep University on Wednesday, October 9th, the rates are even cheaper.  As a product representative myself, I know how difficult it is to get education that benefits my day-to-day job.  As the primary instigator of the Product Rep University, I helped select some great education sessions for fellow reps like "Discipline Roles & Project Goals: How Do I Fit In?", "Why You Need to Read Division 01 on Your Projects: The Rules of the Game" and "Substitutions and Submittals: Not So Dirty Words".  There are three other education sessions for the PRU, including the "Power 90 for Product Reps: Greetings, Meetings & More To Know", which I will be a part of. 

Ask anyone that has attended CONSTRUCT in the past and you'll hear the benefits first hand of why you should attend. I hope to see you in National Harbor in October. If you make it, please stop me and say hello.
