This month, the Boston Society of Architects is presenting their 27th annual Build Boston tradeshow and conference, at the Seaport World Trade Center, from November 16th to 18th. Build Boston is the largest regional conference in the country for members of the design and construction fields. As always, the Build Boston offers a wide variety of exhibitors and and conference sessions, giving many opportunities for both learning and networking.

Members of NEAWI are presenting a conference session, "Architectural woodwork elements: Desks and custom casework", on Friday, November 18th, from 8:30am to 10:00am. From the conference brochure, this session provides:
  • "An overview of the updated version of the Architectural Woodwork Standards (AWS), including the submittal process, wood and plastic laminate casework, custom fabricated desks and specialty casework. Consideration for material selection and coordination issues with solid surfaces, glass, metals, and specialty finishes will be discussed. Attendees will be able to tell the difference between custom and premium grade and how to incorporate the AWS in the design specification so that it guarantees verifiable compliance criteria for material, workmanship, finishing and installation. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy (CD) of the Architectural Woodwork Standards."
