Build Your Knowledge at the Custom Builder Symposium

Custom home clients continually raise the bar on what they expect from builders. The 2004 Custom Builder Symposium gives custom builders the opportunity to expand their knowledge base, deliver on their clients’ expectations and ensure profitability.

The symposium will be held Nov. 12-14 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, CA. New this year:

  • Keynote speaker Bryan Williams, of The Ritz-Carlton, will share his organization’s best practices and explain how to create a culture of service excellence.
  • Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) designation courses will be offered during the symposium at no additional charge. The courses also are approved for Certified Graduate Remodelor™ (CGR) credit.
  • Daily roundtables will provide the opportunity to discuss hot topics and solutions to business challenges with other custom builders.
  • The symposium's first golf tournament will be held at the challenging Ted Robinson-designed course located at the resort.
