With the help of our partners, Builder Partnerships will establish an unprecedented presence at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla., February 8 through 11. Not only will we host our 7th annual opening night reception—which has become a go-to event for people top networkers—Builder Partnerships will also occupy a booth on the show floor.
Our goal? Make the reception the kick-off builders and manufacturers need to have a great show and provide a meeting spot throughout the show for the networking to continue. As our new tagline says, Builder Partnerships is devoted to linking builders and manufacturers for growth. We are thrilled that many of our manufacturer partners will be joining us in our booth.
7th Annual Networking Reception
The 7th Annual Builder Partnerships Networking Reception will be held at the Rosen Plaza right next to the convention center February 7th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm.
In 2011, we had more than 250 builders and manufacturers stop by for an evening of great discussions, camaraderie and networking. This year, we will announce the winner of the Lee Evans Award as well as recognize recipients of the Builder Partnerships Achievement Award.
