UNIVERSAL DESIGN & ADA COMPLIANCE
For the past 22 years, the Akron-Canton Chapter of CSI has brought northeastern Ohio the area's largest construction-related product and technology show. Attendees consist of architects, engineers, facility managers, specification writers, and product representatives of over sixty different firms or companies, all of whom are involved in sustaining the built environment. It also means we are bringing together the best of the professionals in the construction industry, and we want to include you.
Due to the postponement of ProductFest last year, we are so excited to have a show this year and welcome everyone back! With vendor, sponsor, and attendee safety in mind, ProductFest 2021 will be held on the fourth and fifth levels of the Opportunity Parking Deck in downtown Akron (666 Broadway St., Akron, OH 44311). We feel the unique location of the show in a parking deck provides you with the ability to have face-to-face interaction with people in a safe environment. To maintain that safe environment for everyone, we have provided adequate ventilation by being outdoors and increased space between vendors and those in educational seminars. Multiple hand sanitizing, hand washing stations, and restrooms will be available for attendees. All attendees must also comply with social distancing requirements, wear masks at all times (unless actively eating or drinking), and complete Akron-Canton CSI's COVID-19 Waiver before the program, and stay home if they have a fever, cough, or other signs of possible COVID-19. We hope these precautions create a sense of safety for everyone and will encourage people to attend.
No virtual option will be available.
