Keynote Speakers (ALL KEYNOTE CLASSES WILL BE IN THE KEYNOTE AREA) Tom Woodcock President | Seal the Deal Sponsored by Selling in the COVID Era Wednesday, June 16 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area Selling in the construction industry during and post COVID is challenging. Some of the tried and true methods are less effective and many new ones are not as effective as they were at the onset. How do you adjust your sales strategy to continue to produce profitable business, increase revenue and even grow in this time period? Giving up on sales is a mistake and will be realized often when it’s too late. What we’ll cover: • Is outside sales still relevant • Is Zoom the new normal • Is face to face selling possible How can you integrate digital selling with traditional selling? We will dive deep into all these areas and you will come out with a baseline to build a sales plan. Many construction industry related companies are thriving in this climate. This is a chance for you to be one of those experiencing success. Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders & Remodelers Networking & Association Use Thursday, June 17 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues money and don’t maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to join, how to work them and get business from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and network contacts is right in your backyard association! Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again! Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders & Remodelers Scott Specht Founder & Principal | Specht Architects House of the Future Wednesday, June 16 | 11:30am - 1:00pm | Keynote Area Scott Specht, founder of AIA Award-Winning firm Specht Architects, will give an interesting and humorous talk about the history of the “House of the Future.” This will cover unusual ideas from the 1920s through the1970’s of how we’d be living in the future of 2020. Scott will cover the strange building techniques that these visionaries thought we’d be using, including spray-foam structures, bolt-together fiberglass shells, and even inflatable bubble homes. Scott will also talk about what the true home of the future will encompass looking forward, covering the newer ideas of lighting, home automation, and architecture.
