The BOMA/Chicago Annual Trade Show to be held concurrently with Buildex Chicago

Buildex Chicago returns to The Merchandise Mart, May 10-11, 2011, and, for the first time ever, BOMA/Chicago’s annual trade show will be held in conjunction with Buildex. Now in its second year at The Mart, Buildex is an exhibition and conference for real estate professionals in Chicago and the Midwest who oversee the operation, management, maintenance and retrofit of all types of buildings, including office, retail, industrial, multi-unit residential and healthcare.


The annual BOMA/Chicago Show, which features exhibitors who specialize in providing products and services that building managers and operators use most, will be co-located with Buildex. The BOMA/Chicago Show features exhibitors focusing on everything from products and services geared toward local Chicago properties, to national companies with expertise in serving all types of facilities.

“The annual tradeshow provides affiliate members of BOMA/Chicago an opportunity to present their products and services to leading property management professionals from throughout the Chicago metropolitan region and beyond,” said Michael Cornicelli, BOMA/Chicago executive vice president. “We look forward to merging our annual event into Buildex.”

Buildex will once again bring together the latest products, technologies, services and solutions from leading suppliers and associations in Chicago and the Midwest. Attendees and exhibitors have the opportunity to attend a comprehensive line-up of seminars, with expert advice on an array of issues from tenant communications to reducing operating costs.

“The joining of Buildex and the BOMA/Chicago Show will ensure that attendees will have the opportunity to not only explore a wide variety of the newest products and services in their industry, but also cutting-edge seminars with speakers who have their finger on the pulse of what is currently happening in the building industry,” said Mark Falanga, senior vice president of MMPI. “It is a must-attend show for anyone in the real estate management field.”

MMPI, a tradeshow and property management firm, currently produces Buildex through its Canadian division in conjunction with the Chicago-based sales and marketing teams for Buildex Chicago. Buildex has been Canada’s leading property management industry and real estate management trade show for over 20 years with shows in both Toronto and Vancouver.

In the last decade, Buildex was launched in Calgary, Edmonton, and Seattle and has proved successful. As Canada’s largest group of annual property management expositions and conferences, the Buildex family of shows facilitates the exchange of ideas, best practices, and product knowledge that provide owners and managers with strategies and cost effective solutions for managing and operating all types of buildings.
