Day one report: ABSDA show in Halifax

ABSDA Show 2017-Castle

HALIFAX–After 35 years in Moncton, the Atlantic Building Supply Dealers Association (ABSDA), is hosting its annual building supply expo in Halifax this week. The move, which was announced at last year’s event, was described by some as a “long overdue change.”

The show itself got off to a slow start, but most vendors felt that the first part of the morning was on par or even better than the same period at last year’s show in Moncton. By noon on day one, dealer attendance began to increase and by the end of the day many vendors were positive about how business had gone. The new location was well-received by all the attendees.
