JLC LIVE CONFERENCE PROGRAM: HIGH ENERGY, HIGH RETURNS
Dallas, TX – May 5, 2011 – Residential construction professionals converged on the Rhode Island Convention Center March 23 - 26 eager to learn and do business. The re-vamped 2011 New England event provided attendees with more exhibits, new show features and an expanded conference program. Over 55 business topics on sales, estimating, social networking and marketing comprised the 2011 conference program.

Rising energy prices generated increased demand for topics on maximizing energy-efficiency to improve a home’s performance – nearly30% of this year’s courses fell under the Energy and Building Performance Track and almost all were fully attended. This year’s conference also offered the EPA, MA, RI RRP Lead-Safe Renovator Training, plus four other classes on lead. An Add-On Technology Pass was introduced, which provided attendees with a package of five classes and unlimited two-day exhibit hall admission at an introductory price of $140.00.
