Builders, don’t miss Speed Networking!
In this highly anticipated As- sociation event slated for Aug. 20, builders and remodelers meet with associates one-on-one in 10-minute rotations. Speed Networking is designed to bring builders and industry profession- als together for high-impact conversa- tions that spark real opportunities. It’s free for builders and remodel- ers, who also have the opportunity to win great door prizes. Light bites and beverages will also be available. “I always enjoy the Speed Net- working event,” says Association Past President Matt Mitchell of James Andrews Custom Homes. “It’s a great way to get a concise meeting with a vendor and hear about what they do. From there further meetings can be scheduled. There are vendors I still use that I met from years back.” Jeff Dworkin of JLD Custom Homes, also a Dallas BA past presi - dent, agrees. “I’ve always left a Speed Networking event with at least one new sub,” he said. “At the last one, I met a new window covering company and had them out on a jobsite the fol- lowing week!” Jasmine Streete, staff director of meetings and events, encourages member builders and remodelers to attend. “In just one dynamic afternoon,
you’ll meet a wide range of peers, potential partners and industry influ - encers—all in a structured, efficient format that maximizes your time and expands your network. Click here to register.
