The HFSC/Sprinkler Industry booth is a 900-square-foot island that features individual display areas for each manufacturer to showcase their materials. In the center of the booth is the main attraction, a cut-away miniature home model with a fire sprinkler system installed. The model (approximately 5 ft. long x 2 ft. deep by 5 ft. tall) provides Show attendees with a rare hands-on opportunity to explore and understand how sprinkler systems are installed in homes. “ The manufacturers’ support and participation makes it possible for HFSC to bring the story of home fire sprinkler technology to builders and developers in a persuasive exhibit that will stand out among the 1,400 IBS booths,” said HFSC Chair Gary Keith. “The industry’s ongoing commitment is essential to achievement of our mission and we are delighted to have these six companies on board.” The booth will also be staffed throughout the show with knowledgeable HFSC Steering Committee members, including American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) President Steve Muncy. “This unprecedented level of industry cooperation sends the building community a message that is loud and clear: residential sprinklers are here to stay and HFSC is committed to helping builders learn how their businesses can benefit from this life-saving technology.” The International Builders’ Show is an ideal venue for HFSC to communicate its messages directly to this important audience. The trade show is expected to draw more than 90,000 attendees. “ We are proud to have the industry stand up and be counted this way,” said Jim Dalton, vice president with the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) and also a member of HFSC’s Steering Committee. “This annual trade show is the building community’s premier event and it is essential for the sprinkler industry to take part in it. Working together with this unique exhibit, we can make more progress with the building community, and do it faster.” |
