We Listened To You!

There were a number of requests made to keep the seminars in the morning hours, so as to allow attendees plenty of time to spend in the 48 homes that are planned to be on display in Louisville in 2014. This will also allow time to network, meet with exhibitors and do business.

You’ll have power-packed “Show Me the Money!” Seminars and still have time to do go to the mixers, exhibitors, homes and talk to your peers at the best attended event in manufactured housing in 2013. Expect the 2014 Louisville Show to be even bigger and better!

The Seminar Room is at the far side of the BIG Lobby of the North Wing of the Kentucky Expo Center (KEC). The North Wing of the KEC entrance looks like this:
