Pacific Coast Builder Conference 2018: Scenes and Sounds from the Show
Fine Homebuilding was busy at PCBC connecting with trades people, recording podcasts, and raising money to #KeepCraftAlive.
At the 2018 Pacific Coast Builder Conference, held this week at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, construction industry professionals checked out booths from 349 exhibitors, including large displays by Marvin Windows and Doors, BASF, GE Appliances, Dacor, and Samsung. One of the smaller booths was shared by Fine Homebuilding and sister site GreenBuildingAdvisor.com, where several podcast episodes were recorded “live” from the show floor:

Show-goers also had the opportunity to take in three keynote addresses and attend a range of special events. One of those was a networking event at a local watering hole that raised funds for Fine Homebuilding’s #KeepCraftAlive scholarship fund. About 60 people filled the ThirstyBear Organic Brewery as part of the initiative to fund scholarships for building trades students:
