At the conference, you'll have the opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills in design and building, network with other industry experts, and enjoy all that North Myrtle Beach has to offer.

Our keynote speakers include renowned AIBD Fellows, interior designers, and contractors who will share their expertise and insights in various workshops and seminars.

But don't worry—it won't be all work and no play. We have planned networking activities to help you unwind after a day of learning.

The online registration to attend in person closes on March 3rd at midnight. There will be a $50 surcharge for registrations done on-site.

Virtual ticket sales will continue until up to and through the event.

Let's all level up our design & building skills, connect with industry pros, and soak in the vibes of North Myrtle Beach! 🌊

Until then,
The A-Team
