"Think about what you struggled with in the past year or two in your business or in your job, and there’s somebody or something at the Builders’ Show that can help you with that. There’s nothing that you run into at any point in your business that you can’t find an answer to there. That’s what keeps me going back every year."
Lou Salge, Four Seasons Design & Remodeling
"At the show it was interesting to see the new trends that are up and coming in the market, and what’s being done in different parts of the country. As soon as we got back, we started going through things that we could start rolling out — and they were all ideas we got from the show."
Cameron Medlin, Garman Homes, LLC
"I got a lot more out of the classes than I anticipated. For instance, I took a session on time management and the presenter showed us a practical example. It made it seem really easy and allowed me to visualize how to plan better in my professional and personal life."
Kevin Lovoy, ELM Consulting, LLC
