Systems-Built SHOWCASE Relocates to Louisville

The Building Systems Councils’ SHOWCASE — the annual networking, education, and trade show event for all facets of the systems-built housing industry — has been relocated from New Orleans to Louisville, Ky. The show’s dates remain Nov. 6-9 and its overall format remains intact.

The SHOWCASE host hotel will be the Louisville Marriott Downtown. SHOWCASE attendees can take advantage of a special $139 per night room rate as soon as the room block becomes available.

All event activities will occur in the Kentucky International Convention Center, which is connected to the host hotel by a skywalk.

All registrations for SHOWCASE 2005 have automatically been transferred to the Louisville event, including the golf tournament and spouse/guest programs.

SHOWCASE features the finest in concrete, log, modular and panelized home construction. Show highlights include a two-day trade show, several general and breakout education sessions and ample networking opportunities.

The SHOWCASE Web site is continually being updated with the latest information on the Louisville relocation.

For more specific information about SHOWCASE or systems-built housing, contact the Building Systems Councils at 800-368-5242 x8576.
