Topic Area: Design

Home electronics should integrate seamlessly into a home's design
and décor. This course reviews the three-pronged approach to hiding
technology - advanced planning, design philosophy and product
selection - which are important for minimizing the visual impact of
electronics without compromising performance. Specific challenges
and recommendations related to hiding video displays, projectors,
speakers, controls, cameras and equipment racks - among others will be addressed. This 60-minute course speaks to innovative and
creative ways to lessen the visual impact of electronics by making
them low-profile, hidden or camouflaged or even invisible!

LVCC: Room N229

Topic Area: Management

There are many preconceived notions regarding generations,
especially the newest generations in today's workforce. Millennials and
Gen Z workers are constantly referred to by their use of technology
and desire for personal expression and recognition. But did you know
these two groups are teamwork oriented and approach situations from
a global collective consciousness? While we use birth years to identify
these groups, their contribution to the workplace is invaluable and will
ultimately shape the future of the kitchen and bath industry. Whether
you lead a small team or a large group, learning how to effectively
manage employees new to the workforce will help you increase sales,
promote business productivity and boost employee morale.
This session will teach you the key drivers and motivators of the five
generations in today's workplace, with an emphasis on Millennials and
Generation Z. You will learn strategies for effective team management
among the generations. And you will receive tips for practical
communication techniques to develop upcoming leaders. Based
on Ferguson's extensive associate training and career development
programs, this session will provide practical advice that can be
applied to any business or industry.

Brook Mitchell, District Flip
Topic Area: Grow Your Business

As a developer, I had to really learn the hard way as to how to develop
relationships that lead to quality investors that could help me grow
my business and allow me to add more properties to my portfolio.
So many contractors and designers want in this world but don't
know how to get started or do it efficiently. I would love to share my
expertise and help get them started on the right track!
