CAM/HBA Announce 2022 EXPO

Construction Association of Michigan and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan Present the Great Lakes Design and Construction EXPO

BINGHAM FARMS, Michigan – January 10, 2022 – Construction Association of Michigan (CAM) and Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan (HBA) have again joined forces to present Michigan’s largest construction industry event, the Great Lakes Design and Construction EXPO 2022 (EXPO). This one-day statewide event will bring together residential and commercial designers, contractors, suppliers and service providers, offering networking opportunities, educational workshops and special events designed to support the continued success of Michigan’s building industry.

The EXPO will be held on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at the Suburban Collection Showplace, 46100 Grand River Avenue in Novi, Michigan. Thousands of industry professionals are expected to attend. They will have the opportunity to learn about innovations in technology, products, supplies and services from over 150 exhibitors. Industry specific educational workshops and safety training will be offered, as well, to maximize their skills, competency and professionalism.

CAM and HBA partnered in February 2020 to present the EXPO and was precluded from doing so in 2021 due to the pandemic. “We are pleased to be working with HBA once again to create this event that offers exceptional opportunities to both the commercial and residential sides of our industry,” said Kevin Koehler, president of CAM.

Michael Stoskopf, CEO of HBA agrees and adds, “There are differences between those who work in residential construction and those who work in commercial construction, and there are even more areas where our interests intersect. By combining our efforts to present the EXPO, we provide value and opportunity that exceeds the scope of what CAM and HBA could offer separately.”

The EXPO will also host an Economic Forecast Breakfast at 7:30 a.m., before the Exhibit Floor opens, featuring keynote speaker Danushka Nanayakkara-Skillington, assistant vice president for forecasting and analysis for the National Association of Home Builders in Washington, DC. Midday during the EXPO, CAM will hold its 136th Annual Meeting for CAM members.

The Economic Forecast Breakfast and CAM Annual Meeting are the only EXPO events that require a purchased ticket. Visiting the Exhibit Floor and all seminars and workshops are offered at no charge to individuals involved in commercial or residential construction..

The Exhibit Floor will be open from 9:00 a.m. until the EXPO closes at 4 p.m.
