Get Out of YOUR Own Way to Pass the ARE

TFRevitalize 2020  - Distilling Louisville  (AIA/CSI Trade Fair)
Welcome to the AIA CSI REVITALIZE 2020 trade fair event!  This is not the same old trade fair.  Professional Designers are invited to attend this day full of specialized AIA presentations, lunch, and fun in the afternoon including games, snacks and beverages, and networking.  The Napkin Sketch Competition is back and will be focused on the development and growth opportunities that follow our Kentucky spirits!
The event is on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 from 11:30 am-6:00 pm.  It promises to be full of good food and beverage, education, friends, co-workers, networking and stress relief in Louisville's very own revitalized area, Butchertown!  This year, we return to the heart of Butchertown at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center!
Who should sponsor? Product and service representatives that apply to architects and designers.  In 2019, close to 200 attendees came for lunch and seminars throughout the day.  Sponsorships are limited, and the committee requests that only 2 representatives attend per sponsorship to maintain a good ratio of sponsor to attendee.
Who should attend? Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers, Construction Managers, and Facilities Managers or Directors.  Only Product Representatives associated with current sponsors are permitted to attend.  Please register and plan your schedule! 
Since 1987, AIA Central Kentucky Chapter and CSI Louisville Chapter have collaborated to bring a consortium of product representatives and architects to share information, discuss the latest technology, and provide product education.  Over these years, a trade fair was appropriate format.  Now, the format is changing with the generations.  The Planning Committee is confident that you will find this format more engaging and informative than ever before.

More information about the events of the day will follow soon along with attendee registration.  Mark your calendars.
