Panel Built's 2020 Trade Show Lineup!
Blog
UPDATE: 4/22/2020
Due to the growing COVID-19 pandemic, many of the tradeshows Panel Built, Inc. looked forward to attending this calendar year have been canceled. While we were able to attend the MODEX 2020 show in Atlanta & the World of Modular event in Orlando, Panel Built's remaining lineup has been mostly cancelled or moved online. So far, MHEDA's annual convention has been canceled, as well as GSA's FAST 2020 Conference. The Society of American Military Engineer's JETC has turned into a virtual conference which will be located online. And, at the current time, the Global Security Exchange 2020 is proceeding as scheduled.
With a new year comes a new lineup of tradeshows at which Panel Built will be presenting! As with every year, in 2020, we are looking to reach out and make a connection with a variety of companies in a variety of different industries. This year, we will be presenting at trade shows aimed at... material handling, manufacturing, construction, physical security, and more!
One of our main goals this year is to help not only build new connections through networking at these events but to also make face-to-face contact, strengthening the connection with our partners around the world. Because Panel Built offers products across a variety of different industries, we aim to familiarize all the professionals that stop by the booth of our vast product lines, no matter what trade show they may happen to find us.
So, in this post, we'll go over some of the fantastic trade shows that Panel Built, Inc. will be attending this calendar year with a short summary of the trade show's purpose and which of our staff will be attending.
