Show your product to the Industry’s most focused group of Building Envelope Specifiers
33rd RCI International Convention & Trade Show
March 22-27, 2018 | Houston, Texas
Marriott Marquis Houston | George R. Brown Convention Center
When you exhibit at the RCI International Convention and Trade Show, you gain direct access to a motivated and influential group of product specifiers. Unlike at more generically-focused industry trade shows, each RCI consultant member attendee is professionally motivated to discover the merits of today’s building envelope products and services. Winning the approval of just one RCI member can mean millions of dollars in sales.

RCI members purposefully maintain a working knowledge of building envelope technology, and they actively seek information regarding new and innovative products. The RCI trade show is a vital part of each RCI member’s continuing education.
The majority of the association’s near 3,500 members are consultants of building envelope materials. Most are architects, engineers, and/or former contractors. Industry members and facility managers also make up a significant portion of the membership.
RCI members travel from across North America to attend this event, and the number of attendees from countries further abroad grows each year.
Contact the Director of Marketing Communications for more information.
