LBM Expo 2023
LBM Expo 2023
Welcome to LBM Expo 2023!
We are extremely excited to return to the Earth Expo and Convention Center at Mohegan Sun. The location was well received by LBM Expo 2022 attendees and exhibitors. Mohegan Sun is easy to get to, offers top shelf dining and entertainment, free parking (both self-parking and valet) and so much more.
Our show floor features hundreds of vendors offering the latest products and services in the industry. NRLA has also selected the best national speakers to address the issues you’re facing now and to prepare you for the future.
LBM Expo continues to offer free education on the show floor in our building demo zones. This year Gary Striegler will be on our main stage using his expertise for teaching the best practices that will help you help your customers.
On Wednesday afternoon, we gathered a panel of LBM experts to discuss “Succession Strategies for 2024 and Beyond” on the show floor.
We’ll start Thursday Morning off strong with Breakfast with Bradley Hartmann presenting on “Implementing the Air Raid Offense for Sales: A Former QB/Current Sales Trainer’s Guide to Quit Playing Defense and Start Driving New Sales in any Market Environment”. Bradley always brings his A-Game, and this is sure to be an informative and productive session. Expo education will wrap up with a housing and economic outlook from David Logan, Senior Economist and the Director of Tax and Trade policy at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) on Thursday afternoon.
LBM Expo offers many networking opportunities. Connect with old and new friends at the expanded Discover Mohegan Sun pub tour where NRLA state and local associations host attendees at various establishments to enjoy refreshments and compete for prizes. The fun continues Thursday night, after the NRLA Annual Business Meeting and installation of chair Doug Ford, Curtis Lumber Company, with a Installation Celebration where we will celebrate Chair Ford and the festive season with food, drinks, music and fun!
All of this and so much more will be waiting for you in the most ideal environment, all under one roof!

A Former QB / Current Sales Trainer’s Guide to Quit Playing Defense and Start Driving New Sales in any Market Environment.
As industry consolidation continues and commodity volatility dominates daily discourse, the need to differentiate has never been more important. Yet sales teams continue to candidly acknowledge “Well, we do all have the same products and the same trucks,” while sales leaders note what’s been working for the past decade is not working any longer. Customers expect “value creation” beyond answering the phone, taking the order, and delivering the material on time. Builders are searching for better and different—and they need it now.
In this engaging and interactive session, Bradley Hartmann will demonstrate how small, practical changes to your sales leadership diet in three specific activities will differentiate your sales team, deliver more value, and drive new sales regardless of market conditions.
