The 2026 summit is at The Westin Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
The organizer lists LBM dealers, distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers as intended attendees.
It is most useful for lumber and building material dealers who want to hear from peers and trade with suppliers, since the forum is aimed at LBM dealers, distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers and includes panels, a networking reception and an awards dinner. Companies outside the LBM channel, or those wanting a large show floor, would get less from a hotel-based forum run by Hardware+Building Supply Dealer and EnsembleIQ.
Attendees at LBM industry events usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or quarter-zips. The awards dinner usually calls for a jacket, and Chicago in October is cool enough for layers.
