The 2022 International Builders Show (IBS) has come and gone, so that means it’s time to start making plans for the Building Component Manufacturers Conference (BCMC)!
Currently, I have the privilege of serving on the BCMC Committee, so I was present for the 2021 inaugural ribbon cutting that officially opened the show floor and I’m looking forward to the next one this year. And, even before that happens, the show is already underway with seminars and socializing.
Due to convention center schedules, BCMC 2022 is being held in September
rather than the “usual” October show:
September 12–16, 2022
Greater Columbus Convention Center
400 N High St
Columbus, OH 43215
Our theme this year is “No Slowing Down,” which is apropos because our businesses are humming now and they won’t slow down before the show either. Hope to see you there in six months!
