Registration is open for exhibitors and sponsors for 2026 Austin Trades Day. We invite construction industry professionals, trade partners, apprenticeship programs, colleges, technical schools, and workforce development organizations to join CIEF Central Texas in inspiring the next generation of builders. This is your opportunity to showcase your profession through interactive, hands-on activities that allow students to experience the skills, tools, and technology used in today's construction industry. Whether you're teaching students how to use a tool, operate equipment, build a project, or explore a trade, your participation can help spark a lifelong career interest.
Trades Day is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors, whose contributions help offset event expenses and ensure students can attend at no cost.
