Both preferred and regular spaces are available. Those who are interested can contact the Association directly, or can go to the web site, sportsbuilders.org.
This year’s meeting includes state-of-the-art sessions on advanced technique in sports facility design, construction and materials, as well as more rudimentary “how to” programs directed at those who want a more hands-on approach.
