Exhibiting at the SEBC

For 34 years, the SEBC has been the number one regional trade show for creating face-2-face opportunities in the Southeast. Builders, Remodelers, developers, architects, general contractors, trades professionals, manufacturers and suppliers all converge in Orlando during the SEBC to talk housing. Be there to meet and greet with these leading business decision-makers.

Now more than ever before housing professionals are looking for ways to stand out among their peers. Exhibiting offers you the ability to showcase your latest products and techniques. Expositions offer you face-to-face opportunities with existing clients and potential new clients.

SEBC is sponsored by the Florida Home Builders Association; a building industry trade organization comprised of home builders, remodelers, trades professionals, business professionals, general contractors, architects and designers, and is located in Tallahassee, FL.

Co-Location Partners Partners Building a Better Foundation

Co-Location Partners

USGBC
United States
Green Building Council

At a time when exhibitors and attendees need to pick and choose where to showcase or what trade show to attend, we reached out to like-trade organizations to co-locate their trade shows to the Southeast Building Conference. In doing so we are able to offer the homebuilding industry one trade show where attendees can see, learn and network with a larger variety of companies involved in all aspects of construction.

In 2012, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) moves to the SEBC bringing us LEED educational programs and Chapter members to our expo hall.

Partners, Building a Better Foundation

The Florida Masonry Foundation showcased their student foundation in 2011 and will co-locate their summer conference and masonry competition to the SEBC in 2012. We look forward to the excitement that these live competitions will bring to the show floor, from a Fastest Trowel to the Student Apprentice, the Florida Masonry Foundation will present two full days of live competitions.

More co-location partners are in discussions with the SEBC that include: Green Building and Sustainability as well as Energy Efficiency. Look for more details on our partners and their programs throughout the coming weeks.
