Technology for Construction 2005
By Lachmi Khemlani, editor, AECbytes Newsletter #18
While I found both the attendance as well as the energy level still considerably lower compared to other shows I've visited this past year including the AIA Convention, BE conference, Autodesk University, and Macworld, the Technolog for Construction sessions I was able to attend were very interesting and my visit to the exhibit floor was highly informative. The show may have lacked momentum, but it wasn't short on substance.
