• Educational Seminars: Benefit from expert-led sessions on topics like gross margin mastery, project management, motivating your team, operational excellence, and more.
• Keynote & Membership Lunch: Celebrate the successes of your industry and hear about emerging trends and innovations in the LBM industry from a special keynote speaker during our membership lunch.
• Customers Panel Discussion: Discover the needs and challenges your professional customers (builders/contractors/remodelers) are facing and solutions you, as their suppliers, could offer.
• Networking Reception: Close out the day with a hosted bar, hors d'oeuvres, and exciting cash prize giveaways while you make valuable connections with fellow attendees.
