AV AS A BUSINESS
Past Meets Future at the 25th
Annual BLC
The integration community is no stranger to overcoming market turmoil, and NSCA's Business &
Leadership Conference has a 25-year track record of helping integrators improve their resiliency.
By Tom LeBlanc
The 2023 Business & Leadership Conference in Dallas, which will be held from February 28 through March 2, will mark the
25th
time that NSCA has brought together integration leaders to discuss the industry's biggest challenges.
DURING THE 2023 Business & Leadership
Conference (BLC), NSCA will
recognize the event's 25th
anniversary
milestone, while focusing just as much
on the years ahead. At its core, BLC is,
and always has been, about helping
forward-focused integration companies
strategize for future success. The 25th
annual BLC presents a unique opportunity
to recognize the past and take valuable
lessons from those experiences while,
at the same time, doubling down on the
future. The timing couldn't be better for
that juxtaposition.
Consider that the integration industry
is at a monumental point. Supply-chain
challenges are crippling many integrators'
ability to complete projects and realize

revenue. Uncertainty surrounding infl ation
makes budgeting, forecasting,
job-costing and achieving profi tability
extremely diffi cult. Escalating labor costs
further jeopardize healthy margins. Lingering
impacts of the pandemic continue to
create workplace and talent-management
challenges.
Despite all that - somehow, some way
- it's a great time to lead an integration
company. The solutions that integration
companies deliver to customers across
every vertical market have never been
more valuable. That, in part, is because
integrators play a vital role in getting their
customers back to the offi ce, back to
the classroom or back to whatever is " normal "
for them. Meanwhile, integrators

are poised to play a big role in the push
toward more sustainable and healthy
buildings. Well-positioned integrators
have an enormously high ceiling as the
Internet of Things (IoT) becomes synonymous
with the smart-building sector. All
this adds up to integration being the fastest-growing
segment in the construction
industry. Why? Well, because integrators
enable workfl ows, make buildings safer,
and facilitate effi ciency and communication
for those doing important work.
Resiliency Amid Turmoil
Turmoil is not new to the integration community.
During the fi rst 25 years of BLC,
integrators have come together to discuss
how to overcome the recession that folcommercialintegrator.com
