Tech Talks Webinar Series
Webinar series featuring conversations and demonstrations from the lumber & building material industry’s technology companies.
Technology is a big investment and understanding the options and features is vitally important, which is why the association started a webinar series featuring our associate member companies who provide technology products and services.
These webinars offer a high-level overview of the software products being used by today’s top retail lumber dealers. The series goes beyond ERP / POS systems, to include other technology options being utilized to make operations more efficient and save members time and money.
Recordings of previous webinars can be found on our Video Library page.
Market Watch Webinars
Webinar Series featuring conversations and strategic insights from industry representatives.
The association's Market Watch webinars are designed to help answer some of the questions dealers have about the market activities and supply outlook for lumber and building materials.
This series consists of quarterly on-line conversations with supplier representatives who will answer questions posed by moderator, Brett Thorne, Operations Officer at Thorne Lumber Company, and Building the Future Podcaster. Panelists will not only be asked about trends, but they will also be asked to provide some strategic planning ideas to help dealers and their customers better prepare for upcoming projects and take advantage of opportunities in the market. Attendees will be able to ask panelists questions using the Q&A feature on the platform.
