About this event

The 2024 FMB National Conference sponsored by People’s Partnership attracts insightful speakers, encourages in-depth debate, and provides a high-quality networking opportunity for members and suppliers from across the small and medium-sized building community. This year’s two-day event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln.
