PCBC 2018 will launch programming to meet the professional needs of the growing remodeler industry segment.
Homeowner expenditures on improvements and repairs are projected to rise 7.5 percent in 2018 from last year to approach $340 billion, according to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) released by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.
To support this community of builders, professional remodelers from around the country are invited to participate in the Remodelers Leadership Forum, a two-day event connecting remodeling professionals with the business strategies and metrics used by experienced remodelers. The forum is dedicated to providing remodelers with the tools and resources they need to grow their businesses, trends, tips and techniques in the renovation and remodeling space.
“Building owners are employing remodeling contractors to make properties more comfortable, make energy saving improvements or to extend their homes to accommodate growing families,” says Linda Baysari, senior vice president, meetings and conventions. “Remodelers are an essential segment to PCBC attendance. They bring experience to share with the community and will benefit from interacting with leading remodeling firms for networking, results-oriented education and an exhibit floor showcasing more than 350 leading manufacturers and suppliers.”
The expanded exhibit floor will give the remodeler community access to residential building products and services, giving them ideas and products to immediately use in their business.
Bringing together remodeling professionals with the larger home builder community stimulates an exchange of ideas, peer-to–peer learning and network building, which provides an opportunity to gather insights and inspiration, vital to the growth of the industry. These connections occur at marquee events like the Gold Nugget Awards and Hall of Fame Gala and in educational sessions that create organic networking environments.
All segments of the housing industry are encouraged to make plans to attend. No other event in the West draws more builders, provides more opportunity for connection, engagement and dialogue, or brings together intersections of capital, whether human, intellectual or financial. Through educational conferences, networking venues, a curated exhibit floor, and programs designed to connect buyers and sellers, PCBC provides a forum for members of the industry and their manufacturing partners to engage.
