A Relevant, Innovative Executive Level Networking Conference Connecting You to

the Region’s Leading Builders

The 2014 SBN was held in a luxurious and relaxing environment, free from distractions allowing our guests to accomplish more in just two and half days at SBN than they could in a month at their office.

Testimonial: Boral Building ProductsFrom our perspective there is no other meeting format which provides this kind of access to develop relationships with key decision makers.

The structure allows for you and the Builder to quickly determine where opportunity exists and agree to next steps on the spot.

Beyond the meetings, the “down time” activities organized give you a chance to spend time in a casual environment which moves you from just a vendor to a friend.

Ashley Joyce National Accounts Manager

Testimonial: LP Building ProductsThe Southern Builders Network Conference hands down is one of the best investments we’ve made. The one-on-one format of these meetings is so far superior to any tradeshow set up allowing both builder and service business/manufacturer the opportunity for uninterrupted interaction and relationship development. One walks away with solid leads and clearly defined next steps. The social activities are organized, well attended and provide another great opportunity to interact with potential customers and industry experts….or merely the chance to take in the beautiful surroundings of the host location.

Testimonial:Reliance Worldwide Corporation

SBN is a fantastic networking event with quality time spent with key decision makers of each builder. The networking reception and dinner allows you to build a relationship with builders and suppliers in a comfortable setting.

Everyone that attended SBN in 2014 was welcoming and open to learning about each other’s business and products.

Attending SBN is money and time well spent!

I just wanted to let you know that we received FANTASTIC feedback for the Southern Builders’ Network! Per Wes, it was a successful show, so much that we would like to attend again next year! Please be sure to keep us posted on the next event!

Jennifer Lee Marketing Manager

Testimonial:Essex Homes

Thank you for including Essex Homes. I gained real value from making the connections, and have a “to do” list for following up with several of the vendors.

Although it was my first time at an event like that, I felt it was run extremely well and allowed for us to make connections on both a professional and social level.

I already look forward to the next one!

The ability to socialize and network in the hospitality suite was invaluable!! It made for a more comfortable sit down, and by the end of the event we felt like we knew everyone on a personal level, which makes it much easier to do business in the future with these vendors.

I also appreciated the event being away from Columbia, which ensured everyone really participated in the full scope of activities. If not, folks would have been too plugged into their jobs or home life to participate.
