Messe Frankfurt, Inc., organizers of trade events such as the ISH Shows, announced this month the launch of the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo, Sept. 15–17, 2010 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore. 
   Messe Frankfurt said the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo would be a hands-on, regional event focused on education, networking and new product advancements specifically targeting the plumbing and hydronics industry.

   Co-locating with the Remodeling Show, the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo will give attendees twice the value for their time, while focusing on behind-the-wall plumbing products and services and offering its exhibitors a broader visitor base for expanded exposure, organizers said.

   “We are pleased to announce the launch of the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo to serve an important market in an accessible region,” said David Audrain, president of Messe Frankfurt, Inc., “By offering a focused event in the highly concentrated Mid-Atlantic region and co-locating with The Remodeling Show, this event will be beneficial to significantly more buyers, and make it even more valuable for our exhibiting companies.”

   In addition to the hands-on trade show floor, the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo will collaborate with important industry associations and media to provide a strong seminar program focused on plumbing and mechanical code, green trends, best business practices, and other topics addressing the latest issues and future implications for the industry.

   Celebrating its inaugural year, the Plumbing + Hydronics Expo is the behind-the-wall contractor event providing trends, training, and technology. For more information and to register online, visit the Web site.
