Welcome to LBM Expo 2024!
We are extremely excited to 
return to the Earth Expo and Convention Center at Mohegan Sun on December 11-12, 2024.
Our show floor features hundreds of vendors offering the latest products and services in the industry. NRLA has also chosen educational speakers to address the issues you are currently facing and prepare you for the future.
On Wednesday, the show will kick off with a breakfast session by Mark Altman on “The Adaptable Company: Re-energize Your Team in Difficult Times.” We have assembled a panel to discuss “Workforce Development & Industry Recruitment” in the afternoon. Finally, on Wednesday, it is LBM Expo’s 130th anniversary, and we have come to play! Connect with old and new friends at the 130th Anniversary Celebration and Welcome Reception, which will take place when the show floor closes at 5:00.
On Thursday, the morning begins with a breakfast session from renowned economist Dr. Elliot Eisenberg, where he will give his economic forecast for 2025. Kristin Pucci will present “Marketing Mastery: Best Practices for Promoting Yourself, Your Company, and Your Products in the LBM Industry” in the afternoon. The NRLA Annual Business Meeting will follow.
All of this and so much more will be waiting for you in the most ideal environment, all under one roof!
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

In a competitive market, your showroom is more than a display space—it’s a key driver of sales, customer engagement, and brand differentiation. Whether you aim to boost revenue, educate buyers, or stand out from big-box stores, a well-designed showroom gives your business an edge.

They’ll explore how to overcome renovation challenges, use design to influence customer behavior and staff performance, and balance physical products with technology.
