Remodelers’ Show Provides Unparalleled Educational Opportunities

The Remodelers' Show — the one event of the year that can make all the difference for remodeling professionals — will present its largest and most comprehensive conference program ever on Oct. 22-25 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

More than 10,000 remodelers, custom builders and residential architects from around the country will attend next week’s show to see the latest products from more than 300 manufacturers, to network with their peers and to learn how to improve their businesses.

This year’s show will offer 76 educational sessions — including pre-show workshops and seminars as well as CGR, CAPS and NAHB University of Housing courses. Courses will be in such areas as business, sales and marketing, finance and kitchen and bath design. Also, demonstration workshops and clinics will provide free "how-to" presentations on the show floor.

Each seminar and pre-show workshop has been assigned a skill level to help ensure that attendees find the information they are seeking. Courses range from "G" (general information) to 100, 200 and 300 for those who have basic, intermediate and advanced levels of experience, respectively.
