Young Investment Solutions
"After doing trade shows for over 25 years and settling for “the same old” expectations, New York Build and Chicago Build by Oliver Kinross Events came to America ( New York Build in 2018) and they are the best construction shows I have ever been an Exhibitor with or a guest at! Quality leads, knowledgeable speakers and nonstop booth traffic! I cannot wait until London Build in November!"
