"I sat at every session with a notebook, said, 'Oh this is a great idea,' and ended up with 14 pages. What I took from the show we started immediately applying to the business and we're still trying to distill it down and implement all of it in our strategy."

Andrew Brindley, H-E Homes

"The IBS experience allows you to see everything and focus while you're there. Seeing the trends at the show gave me the confidence to say, 'Okay, that is a good direction to go in.' You get an overview of the entire industry and tactics that you can implement right away."

Lauren Merritt, Loren Homes, Inc.

"I got a lot more out of the classes than I anticipated. For instance, I took a session on time management and the presenter showed us a practical example. It made it seem really easy and allowed me to visualize how to plan better in my professional and personal life."
