NEOCON®
EAST TAKES ON PHILADELPHIA IN 2015
October 28th & 29th
Pennsylvania Convention Center
Chicago, IL. (February 2015) Vornado
Realty Trust/Merchandise Mart is pleased to announce that
the 13th edition of NeoCon East (October 28-29, 2015) will be moving to the
vibrant and historic city of Philadelphia. Held in Baltimore for the past
12 years, the leading design show and conference program for the commercial
interiors industry on the East Coast will now call the Pennsylvania Convention
Center its center of command. The state-of-the art exhibition space is located
in the heart of the city, just steps away from the GSA's national headquarters.
From its convenient location, to its powerful economy, organizers identified
the “City of Brotherly Love” as the ideal host for the show, enhancing the
NeoCon East experience and extending greater benefits to exhibitors and
attendees.
NeoCon
Vice President of Sales Julie Kohl says, “NeoCon East has had many successful
years in Baltimore. We took the decision to relocate very seriously to ensure
that it offers the best solution for our show, our exhibitors and our
attendees. As we continue to grow, we recognize the need for a new home base
that allows us to reach a larger, highly influential audience. We found that in
Philadelphia.”
The
Greater Philadelphia area consists of eleven counties and three states –
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware and is considered the US’s wealthiest and
most densely populated region. Lisa Simonian, NeoCon’s Vice President of Marketing
adds, “This region has a very strong A&D community, a comprehensive network
of design industry associations and is easily accessible from D.C., Baltimore
and NYC - all under two hours away by train or car. Business is booming across
key vertical industries including Healthcare, Education, Hospitality and
Office. We can't wait to take advantage of all that this move has to offer.”
Philadelphia’s
regional design associations are some of the strongest in the US. Show
organizers are already working with key partners like IIDA and AIA to explore special
initiatives. In addition, they are developing dynamic programming and
organizing a rich offering of resources for the milestone year. A GSA
focus will also be maintained, optimizing the GSA’s Philadelphia headquarters
and the significant number of federal government agencies in the region. More exciting announcements will be made as
the show date nears.
