In its 26th year, Build Boston is excited to introduce the 1st Innovation Pavilion - an opportunity for new and innovative products and companies to join the established event. Build Boston is one of the northeast's largest tradeshow and conventions for the design and construction industry, registering more than 15,000 attendees each year. Selected entries will be exhibited November 17-19, in the Innovation Pavilion at Build Boston.
