Supporting the development of the event’s more than 40 educational sessions and tours, Informa has announced the members of the 2017 Education Advisory Council for CONSTRUCT. These 12 people will make crucial decisions regarding the education program for the show, which will take place in Providence, Rhode Island, September 13 to 15.
