The 2020 Design Expo happens on October 29-30 in Dallas, as part of TxA’s 81st Annual Conference.
The TxA Design Expo features approximately 350 booths and offers the highest quality architectural products and services on the market. It is the largest architectural products show of its kind outside of the AIA National Expo. Embrace this unique opportunity to showcase your brand, products, and staff while engaging with thousands of key decision makers from across the region.
The 2020 Design Expo will take place on the first two day of the Texas Society of Architects 81st Annual Conference, happening October 2020 in Dallas at the Hilton Anatole. The conference is an intensive three-day experience drawing more than 3,500 industry professionals, including firm leaders, top-level principals, partners, designers, and influencers ready to make buying decisions.
Traditional expo floor plans are outdated, unproductive, and lack energy and engagement. TxA’s Design Expo is different: We offer a non-traditional trade show experience, filled with interactive attendee/exhibitor opportunities and captivating learning environments. Attendees and suppliers participate in pockets of unexpected networking, education, and demonstrations.
By exhibiting with TxA, you will enjoy a premium booth setting, recognition at all stages of the Annual Conference and Design Expo, and exclusive access and promotional activities throughout the following year.
