Heartland NFBA Chapter Conference Oct. 7-8 in Branson

The National Frame Building Association represents the Post-Frame Construction Industry. NFBA’s newest regional affiliate is the Heartland Chapter, which covers the states of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. The Heartland Chapter will hold its first annual Heartland Conference Oct. 7-8, 2010 in Branson, Mo.

Builders, suppliers, material dealers, architects, engineers and other post-frame industry professionals are invited to attend the Heartland Conference. In-depth information on post-frame construction and business management will be presented.

Industry experts will discuss what NFBA is doing to grow the post-frame industry. In the midst of an otherwise sour construction economy, post-frame offers unique advantages for market growth. NFBA seeks to empower all members to grow their own businesses and is conducting national marketing efforts to educate customers, design professionals, developers, specifiers and project managers. Come to the Heartland Conference to learn more about NFBA’s programs, and how you may leverage our efforts.

The Heartland Conference will include educational sessions by industry specialists, the latest product information direct from industry suppliers, and fun events. Those who attend gain valuable information to take back with them, so they may engage customers more efficiently and target new and emerging markets.

With a new commercial airport Branson is easily reached by air, and within driving distance for most of us. The schedule is planned so that few need spend a night or more away – but you may want to stay once you’re there! Branson is a popular destination for construction professionals and their families.
