The Presidential Seminar has earned a reputation as the building industry’s premier learning forum. It is the oldest educational seminar devoted to home building presidents and CEOs. This year, an elite group of professionals will share strategies and action-oriented practices on conducting business successfully today and securing a strong position for tomorrow.

Come to the Presidential Seminar and hear how some of the best, most progressive builders in the country prepared themselves for the decline in business that we’re all now experiencing. These builders knew that the housing boom couldn’t last forever, so they took steps to diversify into new, more lucrative markets, tighten their budgets, and improve their sales and construction processes. Find out how these companies have positioned themselves to really prosper when the market returns.
