JLC LIVE New England 2027 in Providence, RI

JLC LIVE New England returns to the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence for its 2027 edition, running March 18-20 with the exhibit hall open March 19-20. It is the most anticipated regional trade event of the year for residential construction, drawing remodelers, home builders, general contractors and specialty trades from across New England and beyond. The program combines on-floor building clinics, live technique demonstrations and classroom-style conference sessions led by leading industry experts. Attendees can test tools and materials from top manufacturers in the exhibit hall, explore high-performance building, decks, roofing, trim carpentry, exteriors and building technology, and take part in JLC LIVE En Español sessions designed for Spanish-speaking contractors. JLC LIVE is a trade-only event, so registration is limited to industry professionals, though trades may also register a guest or spouse to visit the exhibit halls. Conference sessions run Thursday through Saturday and include AIA-accredited training. Planning a stay is straightforward: the venue sits at 1 Sabin Street in downtown Providence, steps from the Omni Providence and within walking distance of the city's main hotels, restaurants and waterfront. Booking early is recommended because room blocks fill quickly around the show dates.
