BizCon North will take place at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud, MN, on January 28-29, 2025, followed by BizCon South at Prairie Meadows Casino & Hotel in Altoona, IA, on February 18-19, 2025. Both locations will offer a dynamic lineup of activities designed to inspire and educate attendees, from seminars on sales and leadership to discussions on how artificial intelligence is transforming the industry.

Attendees will also enjoy ample networking opportunities, with eight hours of exhibit hall time featuring the Innovation Speed Showcase, where emerging products and services will take center stage. Additional networking highlights include the trade show happy hour, Brews and Bites reception, and Wrap Up lunch on the exhibit floor, creating the perfect environment to connect with peers, suppliers, and industry experts.

In addition to the educational and networking opportunities, BizCon offers unique ways to engage with your community. Members are encouraged to invite their contractor customers to attend the trade show for free—a $35 savings! This is an excellent opportunity for contractors to explore the latest industry innovations and connect with top vendors. Moreover, the BizCons will host a special Student Career Panel, inviting local high school and college students to explore career opportunities in the lumber and building materials industry. Industry professionals will share insights, and students will have a chance to tour the exhibit hall and meet with vendors.

To make the BizCons even more enticing, BLD Connection is offering an Early Bird Registration Contest. One lucky early registrant from each event will win a $250 prize, just by registering early and attending the event!
