One of my favorite parts of running HomeFixated is attending trade shows. I love running around from booth to booth learning about all the interesting tools and products on the market, generally from well-spoken, attractive PR people. If you’re a regular reader, you know that The National Hardware Show and STAFDA (it’s not an infection, it’s a tool show), are two regular stops for the HomeFixated show circuit. This month, I’m adding a new show to our coverage, and it’s right in our San Diego backyard: PCBC.
The show has been around in various forms since 1959, and during the housing boom time (remember those days?), it was the fastest growing trade show in the country. I think the show was originally the Pacific Coast Builder’s Conference, but these days, they prefer PCBC.
To get more live coverage of trade shows with the latest in tool, home and construction products in the future, be sure to follow HomeFixated on Twitter. Even if you’re not on Twitter, you can find our coverage of the show detailed below. You may also see more detailed coverage of some of the products we discovered at PCBC in the coming months on HomeFixated. Enjoy!
