2 THE INDUSTRY S ALL-CONSUMING EXPERIENCE Over the course of four days, HPBExpo 2017 attracted 6,781 registered attendees to the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta to eat, sleep, and breathe the latest innovations in indoor-outdoor living. With 411 exhibitors across 129,200 sq. ft. of show floor space, new business relationships were established, purchases were made, and HPBExpo once again ranked as the premier event for the entire indoor-outdoor living industry. It was a wonderful experience. We were able to take our whole team this year and it was very exciting for all of us. Each one of us was able to gain something from the show. We got a chance to speak with vendors and clear up concerns about issues we re having. As always there is awesome stuff that you only get to experience at the show.
