Game Changers

Game Changers revolutionize how you do business by gaining insights and solutions from leading voices and high-profile industry and business thought leaders. They’re going to change the way you approach critical residential construction issues.

While Game Changers sessions are not new to the Builders’ Show, the way the experts and influencers change your perspective, make you take a hard look at how you’re doing things and provide ways for you to do things differently is new.

NEW Format for Orlando: We’re pairing an industry CEO with an expert outside the industry to tailor the latest techniques, strategies and approaches to the building industry. It’s the best way to experience the best of both worlds – the business world and the building world.

Game Changers sessions are open to all attendees with an Expo+Education Pass.

Jon Taffer, the entrepreneur, TV personality and business strategist behind Bar Rescue, brings his no-excuses approach to business performance and four decades of experience to show why, at the end of the day, all your problems are revenue problems.

With home builders facing rising costs, labor shortages, fierce competition and customers who expect more than ever, Jon will break down how disciplined systems, clear team expectations, stronger customer experience and smarter brand positioning turn challenging markets into growth markets. He'll share the operational moves and leadership habits he's used to help hundreds of businesses increase revenue, tighten margins and create real competitive advantage.

Lee Thomas Miller

The final Game Changers session brings the week full circle with a jolt of creative inspiration from one of Nashville’s most versatile songwriters, Lee Thomas Miller. He’s known for his chart-topping work, including writing songs for Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Chris Stapleton and Brothers Osborne. Yes, the same Brothers Osborne who will close out the show at the IBS Closing Concert that very night. Lee will explore how storytelling, authenticity, collaboration and resilience fuel breakthrough ideas, whether you’re building a brand, building trust with buyers or building a home. Expect an energizing look at the mindset behind great work and a perspective that pairs perfectly with the show’s grand finale.
