A new name says it all: East Coast Builders Conference

The Atlanta-based East Coast Builders Conference -- formerly known as the Builder Remodeler Expo -- is looking ahead to May 4-5, 2017. 

The conference and expo will be held at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta.

"There's a strong level of support by manufacturers for a residential building and construction industry tradeshow and conference to be held consistently on the East Coast," said Verne Packer, executive producer of the event. "2016 exhititors and attendees have given us great feedback to improve the overall experience and those suggestions are helping us improve our event for 2017."

The month of May timeframe was selected to give builders more time to begin spring construction amd more time between the International Builders' Show and the ECBC, show organizers said. 

Strategic partners HBAG, ASID and NARI will all hold their spring member meetings and events at ECBC. Also, a "Meet the Builder" component will bring together key East Coast buyers with top manufacturer's executives.

The ECBC is sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Georgia and its 28 state chapters it targets 16 states from Mississippi to Indiana, east to Pennsylvania and south to Florida.
