SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER

LUNCHEON PRESENTATION, JUNE 4

AND 

 DINNER PRESENTATION, JUNE 5

IN THE COURTYARD AT THE HORTON GRAND HOTEL 

Continuing our efforts to expand our visiblity in the construction industry, AIBD-CS is going to walk the floor and shake the hands of the vendors and representatives of the companies at the Pacific Coast Builders' Conference!  These are the companies that provide the products we specify for our projects, develop the tools we use to produce our designs, and  educate builders and the public about the ever-changing technologies for better, more efficient buildings.

In conjunction with the Builders' Show, we will be holding our Board of Directors Meetings combined with lunch on Tuesday and dinner on Wednesday.  Both meals will feature presentations by some of our generous sponsors. Dinner will include speakers Doug Stead of California Council for Interior Design Certification and Patti Morrow, Interior Design Protection Consultant.  

ABOUT THE 2013 PACIFIC COAST BUILDERS SHOW

PCBC was launched in 1959 as a small educational conference at the Sheraton Palace Hotel in San Francisco. To say that the event has grown and evolved since then would be a considerable understatement. It was, at one point in the housing boom of the early- to mid-2000s, the fastest growing tradeshow in the nation, as ranked by Tradeshow Week magazine. And while that designation was flattering, PCBC’s enduring value and distinctiveness has never been about raw numbers. Instead, as one of our board members puts it, “Connections are the soul of PCBC.”

You can find larger housing industry events. But you will not find any higher caliber events, drawing more influential builders, creating richer intersections of capital—human, intellectual and financial—anywhere in North America. Through targeted educational forums, exclusive networking venues, a curated exhibit floor experience, product “matchmaking” sessions and more, PCBC is dedicated to creating better ways for buyers and sellers to productively engage.

Who attends? PCBC is a gathering of America’s most prominent residential builders, developers, architects, building scientists, lenders, investors, marketers and product manufacturers. Although PCBC made its name as a homebuilding event, it now draws major builders of a wide range of housing forms—single-family, multifamily, mixed-use, seniors’ and resort development.

The country's largest volume builders call PCBC home because it offers them unparalleled connections:

• Connections with leading sources of capital, creating opportunities to talk real deals with lenders, private debt and equity providers, and institutional investors.
• Connections with leading architects and trendsetters from the design community, including the esteemed Gold Nugget Awards program, housing’s oldest and most admired design competition.
• Connections with leading manufacturers of building products, systems and services, including discussions and tutorials with R&D engineers and building performance experts.
• Connections with fellow leaders, through PCBC’s partnership with Leading Builders of America, and at prestigious gatherings such as the Leader-to-Leader Forum and the Hall of Fame Awards.

HOME OF INNOVATION
The Pacific coast has long been one of the great hubs of innovation. From technology to bioscience to the sustainability movement, the region doesn’t just buck trends, it defines the future. The PCBC audience, influenced by the innovative culture and population of the region, has led the way in integrating new technologies—including higher performing building materials and systems—into the home. PCBC’s community of builders, architects, building scientists and product manufacturers is driving innovative new approaches in:

• Architectural and land planning design
• Environmental and sustainable building practices
• The integration of new technologies into homes and the building process
• The adoption of a community-centric approach to residential development
