Builder Block Expo Proposal for Trades
Proposal Information
New Venue
The Builder Block is looking for Trades/Products & Suppliers for this prestigious industry event. This is our 6thannual event and it will be held at Calgary Golf & Country Club on November 3rd, 2022 from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Please join us in this exciting new and bigger location! We like to call this private builder industry event a “Builder Shopping Mall”. It is truly one of the only events of its kind in the city.
We feature 30 to 40 of the top trades in their field who all offer Bowie Bear Incentives and Discounts to builders who want to experience their services and products. We reach out to over 300 builders to attend this event and The Builder Block Expo offers a complimentary Buffet Luncheon that is available all day. There will be a complimentary array of 5 star specialties for all attendee’s sponsored by Douglas Developments along with a glass of Champagne offered by Willow Park Wines & Spirits.
We also offer ample free parking and no entrance fees for any builder/contractor or renovator who attends this magical event. Additionally, we are offering everything from company car/truck packages, construction equipment rentals, fireplaces and much more. Last year’s event was a great safe event even in spite of Covid-19. Our official launch of the “Innovation Room” which featured all the cutting edge building products/ supplies coming out in the market was a big hit with everyone.
Charity
New and exciting this year is the “Bowie Bear Cares” Program. The Builder Block Expo is proud to announce the debut of a heartfelt new plan to “Help put a roof over a child in need”. The Builder Block Trade Expo is now partnering with the Children’s Cottage Society at www.childrenscottage.ab.ca. Through our event, I hope to create awareness and funds that will help The Children’s Cottage Society continue to provide a safe haven for children and families in need.
Media
Your company will be continually advertised and promoted throughout the lead up to the show through daily communications to builders by the Builder Block sales team. We reach out to over 250 Builders in the industry. The Expo will also be featured 10 days prior to the event on the recently rebranded C 97.7 FM and will include an all- day show day remote.
We also do a full media campaign that includes television, newspaper and social media platforms. Additionally, we will advertise your company through our promotional video of the show which will be showcased on the website for a one year period after the Expo. https://www.builderblock.ca/.
