“Here in Atlanta, we are fortunate to enjoy year-round outdoor living,” said Michael Schoppenhorst, president of SEMCO and director of the Atlanta Home Show.  “Throughout the Show, but especially in the Outdoor Living Expo area, our exhibitors will present innovative ideas about how to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces and smoothly transition from one to the other.  Attendees will be able to learn about the latest products and services for inside and outside the home including kitchens, baths, porches, decks, pools, outdoor kitchens, landscaping, heating and air conditioning, insulation, fireplaces and so much more.”

“We are very excited to welcome John Gidding back to the Reliable Heating and Air Stage,” Schoppenhorst continued.  “John is extremely popular with our attendees, and will draw on his extensive background in all aspects of both interior and exterior home design.  Since he spends a lot of time in Atlanta, he’s very familiar with our city’s home styles and neighborhoods.  I’m sure he will give attendees wonderful ideas, which they can then personalize by speaking with the Show’s exhibitors.”
