Join us for a memorable two-day event at the beautiful DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln, specifically designed for builders like you to connect, learn, and unwind.
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.
Thursday 12 September will feature an opportunity to join an open FMB National Board meeting. This will be followed by an informal social event (ticketed) in the evening.
Friday 13 September will include the National Annual General Meeting (AGM) and a half-day business conference chaired by broadcaster and journalist Philippa Forrester during the morning. There will be some free time in the afternoon before a gala dinner in the evening, offering a chance to connect with fellow members.
This is your chance to:
- Stay informed about critical industry issues.
- Expand your network and connect with experienced builders.
- Enjoy a well-deserved getaway with your colleagues or partner in a beautiful setting.
Open to all FMB members, both FMB National President Chris Carr and FMB Chief Executive Brian Berry hope to see you all there.
