Mike will identify the seemingly subtle differences between poor and proper detailing and why they’re important. He’ll show you the proper techniques for preventing leaks and other long-term problems for both retrofit and new installations. He will address and demonstrate penetrations, flashing, trims and the use of dissimilar materials, all within the context of the MBMA Metal Roofing Systems Design Manual. Mike will also discuss correct and incorrect details, as well as conditions that should be avoided.

Why Contractor's Work Too Hard and Earn Too Little
(1.5 hours / LUs – HSW – SD)

Jayme Broudy, Principal, Contractor’s Business School

Many business owners are overwhelmed by the demands of their business. They aren’t making the money they want, they work too many hours and can’t take a vacation. What’s their problem? They run their firms as owner-operators rather than stand-alone business owners. Contractor's typically build businesses around themselves, convinced they are essential to the moment-by-moment operation of every aspect of their business. This powerful program shows contractor’s how to discard this mindset and embark on the path to creating a stand-alone business with unlimited growth potential. This challenging program will provide solid content and a plan for practical application.

10 Reasons Not to Take Part in the Recession
(1.5 hours / LUs)

Ted Miller, President, Miller-Clapperton Partnership, Inc.

This seminar is designed to take your company in a different direction from where the economy is going. Whenever there is change, there will be problems to solve and that creates opportunity. You can choose to stay in the middle of the problem or choose to find, solve and profit from the opportunities. This seminar has been created to share ways to take advantage of these opportunities. Ted will share methods that have proven successful in the past, but the super power of this seminar comes from the interactivity of the participants. There will be large group activities and small group activities based around the concept of everyone sharing what has worked for them. For example, one participant may share with the group the way local cable TV has proven to be effective for them. Another participant may explain how they have used social networking to create “buzz” and actual business for their company. The bottom line is --each participant should come with one great idea, leave with ten+. The day when one guy has all of the best ideas has come and gone. This seminar is developed to be a great interchange between active participants in the metal construction industry that have shared interests and needs.

Ted is president and one of the founders of Smyrna, GA-based Miller-Clapperton Partnership, Inc. Miller-Clapperton is one of the leading designers, fabricators and installers of Metal Composite Material Panel Systems. Ted has worked for the Georgia Power Company and H.H.
