Our conference is packed with seminars and education that fosters career growth. Community Students are part of the LBM community and NextGen offers the opportunity to connect with other members. The camaraderie is often cited as the highlight for students. In-Depth Case Studies Each conference includes an in-depth mill tour where you’ll see how other are innovating and meet with the owners and staff to understand how their role adds to the operation.

I was able to make connections with numerous dealers my age who surprisingly are also in the fourth generation of their family business. Jamie Gross GROSS LUMBER CO., CARLISLE OH Nowhere else except NextGen events can I find others just like me to share challenges and ideas. It's a great program. Kobly Dukes DUKES LUMBER, LAUREL DE My son was very enthusiastic upon returning from the NextGen Conference. He was excited about the opportunities in the LBM industry, enjoyed collaborating with others of his generation, and gained a better understanding of the dynamics of the industry. I sense the NextGen program helped him reinforce his choice to come back to the family business. Bill Newman OXFORD LUMBER CO., OXFORD AL I found this experience to be very educational, and I was able to get many different perspectives from the group.
