Showcasing Strategies and Solutions for
Managing and Operating All Types of Buildings

Being The Merchandise Mart, we know buildings.  That is our core business.  We are one of the largest building operators in the Chicago market and our parent company – Vornado Realty Trust – is one of the largest REITs in the United States.

In this challenging economic and leasing environment, we are working hard to find strategies and solutions that can help us manage and operate our buildings more efficiently and effectively.  Not only for our needs as owners but more importantly for the benefit of our tenants.

As a result, we are constantly looking for products, services, technologies and ideas from suppliers – our strategic partners – that can help us achieve these goals.

And we are not alone on this mission.  Owners, managers and operators of all types of buildings have the same objectives.

To address these needs in Canada, our organization has been producing a series of very successful expositions and related conferences for over twenty years.  They are held annually in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver.

We believe that the time is right to offer a similar informational and networking event in Chicago and to hold it at The Merchandise Mart.

Introducing Buildex Chicago.  Where building owners and managers will meet strategic partners offering products, services, and technologies that can upgrade and improve the operation of all types of properties.

The latest estimates from the US Department of Commerce indicate non-residential construction spending at $415 billion annually. This represents an extraordinary opportunity for high-end lighting product specification in the hospitality, commercial, health care, educational and government industries.

With lighting products clearly in high-demand, NeoCon will be showcasing a new LIGHTING Pavilion on the 12th floor showcasing commercial lighting, controls, day-lighting integration products, decorative and custom fixtures, lamps, recessed lighting, retail lighting, LED technology, and specialty fixtures.

The Lighting Pavilion will also feature 10 top-notch educational programs that are CEU/HSW and LEU accredited and will cover the following topics: Sustainable Lighting, Office Lighting, LED Technology, Energy Efficiency, Color in Lighting and more.

ArchLed

LED Lighting for the Built Environment

This LED summit and event will arm attendees with critical knowledge and resources on solid-state lighting technology and integration.

THE IDEA IS THIS: to bring together solid-state lighting component and fixture manufacturers with architects and lighting designers/specifiers for a realistic dialog concerning what is needed to move toward the widespread adoption of this exciting technology.
