U.S. Pipe featured a one-of-a-kind tradeshow booth exhibit in the American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE). The booth was designed as a 30-foot by 40-foot lodge with a rustic, yet comfortable décor. The interior of the booth featured all the comforts of home, from a plasma screen TV above the fireplace to couches to knick-knacks that provided a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere. Inside the lodge, guests could sit on the couches and enjoy snacks as they viewed humorous photos on the TV that chronicled the history of U.S. Pipe and its products. Outside the lodge, guests could gather in the fenced yard with its shrubs, trees and benches. The booth was designed for U.S. Pipe by Knight, an Orlando, FL-based advertising agency.
