AIA Florida State Conference, Tampa 2025

“The built environment is too important to leave to architects.”
— Paul Rudolph
Revolutionized modern architecture with daring, sculptural concrete designs—transforming Florida’s skyline and inspiring architects worldwide with fearless creativity and climate-smart vision.This reminds us that architecture—and by extension, trade shows—are a collective endeavor, co‑shaped by many voices and perspectives.

We showed up in Tampa as more than exhibitors—we came as collaborators. Representing Bomanite Florida, our goal was to contribute meaningfully to the conversations shaping Florida’s built environment. Through breakout sessions, informal exchanges, and hands-on discussions, we were there to listen, learn, and lead where we could.

Progress doesn’t always come with a podium. Some of the most energizing moments from this year’s conference came in the margins—in hallways, over coffee, and around design tables. Beyond the booth, we found ourselves not just networking, but co-creating. And those conversations? They’re already turning into new partnerships and future presentations.
Representing Bomanite Florida, we joined this year’s AIA Florida Conference not just to showcase expertise, but to engage in real-time problem-solving with the architects and designers shaping our built world. Our team took part in a 3D breakout session focused on collaboration and constructability — offering insight from the field and exchanging ideas that are already sparking plans for future partnerships and presentations. For us, this conference wasn’t just about presence — it was about progress.
Where collaboration starts — and keeps going.

“In the same way that landscape architects individually and collectively work to serve the land and the people of the land as stewards of the built and natural environment, members of ASLA are stewards and advocates not only for the land and its inhabitants, but also for the body of knowledge and experience that make of the profession and discipline of landscape architecture.”
– Ken Brooks, FASLA

Our presence at industry trade shows reflects a dual commitment—to the partners we support and to the professional communities we’re part of. Whether collaborating behind the scenes or taking an active role on the floor, we aim to strengthen relationships, contribute meaningfully, and stay engaged with the conversations shaping the future of the field.

Participating in trade shows like ASLA Florida allows us to not only support our partners but also engage meaningfully with the broader design and sustainability communities. From climate-conscious design education to biodiversity initiatives, our involvement is part of a larger commitment to championing innovation and responsible practices in the built environment.
From the ASLA Floor with CASTO: Paving New Paths in Landscape Design
Earlier this month, our team attended the ASLA Florida State Trade Show, diving into a weekend filled with innovative ideas, inspiring people, and future-forward design conversations. Representing our client Florida Bomanite, we showcased decorative concrete systems tailored for the landscape architecture community. As a national brand, Bomanite is known for its design versatility and technical excellence, and we were proud to help highlight that legacy here in Florida.
Beyond the booth, we also represented CASTO Creative—connecting with consultants, firms, and contractors who share our passion for sustainability in the built environment. From seminars on climate resilience and biodiversity to thought-provoking discussions about the future of landscape design, it was a weekend that reaffirmed the value of creativity and collaboration. With good food, great people, and lasting partnerships, this trade show was a highlight of the summer.

“You don’t have to sink or swim— you can learn to sail. Don’t accept the limitations and boundaries others may impose on your career. Look ahead and take risks, since change is constant and success comes to those who anticipate and lead future trends.”
Christopher Fagan, AIA New York Region Representative to the Young Architects Forum

We showed up to AIA not just to stand beside our partner Resinwerks, but to stand behind the broader mission of architectural excellence and material education. Whether we were directing traffic to the booth, exchanging insights with designers, or deepening ties with fellow innovators, our presence was rooted in connection, credibility, and curiosity.

Trade shows are more than product demos—they’re about inspiration. Touring Artaic’s custom mosaic production facility, sharing meals with like-minded makers, and exploring the vibrant Seaport district reminded us that innovation doesn’t stop on the show floor. Beyond the booth, we found collaboration, creativity, and a few seriously good meals.
CASTO Creative at the Forefront of Resin Education and Architectural Innovation
From cutting-edge materials to time-honored design discussions, CASTO Creative was proud to participate in the 2025 AIA Conference on Architecture & Design in Boston, MA. Joining with Resinwerks, we supported booth operations and helped guide conference attendees to explore the value of their resinous systems. Resinwerks is a national manufacturer known for their deep expertise and hands-on contractor training—and we were thrilled to help amplify their presence at this industry-leading event.
But our engagement didn’t stop there. As CASTO Creative, we took this opportunity to deepen relationships across the architecture, design, and manufacturing sectors. From conversations with firm leaders to shared meals with material innovators, this trip reminded us that education and connection fuel creative, future-ready design.
A highlight of the trip? Touring Artaic, the award-winning mosaic manufacturer modernizing custom tile through robotic fabrication. Their Boston-based facility—and their latest work on the edge of the Seaport—offered inspiration in spades. With good food, bold ideas, and even better people, this year’s AIA Conference was a true success.
