LBM Strategies Conference

Bringing together LBM pros to address and share practical, tactical solutions to today’s toughest business challenges. The educational sessions address the issues you’re facing, delivered by LBM pros who’ve faced down those challenges and found solutions that work.

Networking

We get it: The most valuable part of any industry conference is the opportunity to connect with fellow industry pros. That’s why your registration includes breakfasts, lunches, coffee breaks, and cocktail receptions. Quality, in-person time with other LBM pros leads to fresh connections that live on beyond the event.

Speakers

Presenters and panelists were carefully selected to address today’s top business challenges. Our lineup includes LBM industry veterans, up-and-comers, innovators and thought-leaders, all willing to share their strategies and successes to help you build your business. All presentations end with live Q&A.

Venue

Next to Music City Center and Bridgestone Arena, our all-suite hotel is perfect for exploring downtown Nashville. We are within a mile of the State Capitol, Ryman Auditorium, and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. We’re within 10 minutes of Vanderbilt and Tennessee State Universities. Enjoy dinner and drinks with a view from our 30th floor restaurant and bar.

Box Lunch and Depart

“It’s well worth the investment. Needs to be top of list for events you need to attend yearly.”

“A great conference for LBM dealers to see what the hot topics are in our industry and to network with like dealers from around the country.”

“ The networking opportunities are unbelievable. I can just go on and on about people who are not in my market that I’ve met and feel very comfortable with, and it’d be very easy to reach out to after this conference to get ideas that aren’t from a competitor. And so that’s invaluable.”
