The 2025 Post-Frame Builder Show provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for business owners and employees to gain knowledge specifically designed for the post-frame industry. The following are the Top 10 reasons why business owners, managers, and key team members should attend the 2025 Post-Frame Builder Show at the Spooky Nook Sports Center in Manheim (Lancaster County) Pennsylvania, June 25-26.
1 Gain knowledge of industry trends and forecasts. Trade show attendees learn from experts and peers about what is happening in their industry and what is expected to happen in the next 12-24 months.
2 Gain knowledge of new products and services. Manufacturers are constantly developing new products and features that help their customers improve productivity and efficiency. Trade show attendees learn about the latest products and features that can give them a competitive advantage.
3 Learn about legal, regulatory, and compliance changes. What new laws and regulations have been implemented over the past year? How will these changes affect your business and what steps can businesses take to succeed?
4 Gain knowledge of how other businesses operate. Trade show attendees meet their colleagues and discuss how their businesses operate and what challenges they are facing. By doing so, attendees learn how other businesses improved efficiency and solved problems. Attendees can use this information to improve their own efficiency and solve their own problems.
5 Gain knowledge about your competition. The post-frame industry is constantly evolving with new trends and new component options. Attendees can learn what their competition is doing and what is working for them. Who’s stepping up their barndominium game? Who’s adding additional services to their lineup? What changes might be right for you?
6 Build relationships with key vendors. Vendors can be invaluable partners. Trade show attendees get face-to-face time with multiple key vendors — in a single location — and establish relationships that will help their business succeed.
7 Build relationships with colleagues in the industry. Getting to know colleagues in the construction industry is a great reason to attend any trade show. Attendees can meet colleagues from other regions and have a resource to bounce ideas off in the future. For example, if a business owner is encountering problems in their builds, or with specific components they are using, they can look to their peers for input on what is working for them.
8 Build relationships with your team. Many businesses send their key employees to trade shows. This is a great opportunity for key team members to get involved in the industry, learn about new products and practices, and meet key vendors. It also provides an opportunity for those team members to feel like an important part of the business and to build relationships with other team members away from the office. Be sure to stay at the attached Warehouse Hotel for easy access to the trade show and all the team building fun the Spooky Nook Sports center has to offer.
9 It’s time to be inspired. Trade shows provide a great reason to get out of the office for a few days. When an owner or manager is in the office, most of their time is spent dealing with immediate issues. Trade shows provide an opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities and focus on the big picture and future goals and strategic plans for the business.
10 Visit beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Take time before or after the trade show to enjoy Pennsylvania Dutch Country, known as the Garden Spot of America. There are many local attractions starting with the activities to enjoy right at the Spooky Nook Sports Complex all the way to taking llamas for a walk at a nearby farm. If you want to do a bit more traveling, Hershey, home of everyone’s favorite chocolate factory, is less than a 30-minute drive and those who want to explore farther can trek just under six hours to experience Niagara Falls. For those who want their travel time to fall somewhere in the middle, a three-hour drive will take you to one of the most underrated yet beautiful areas known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. There, you can walk trails, see eagles soar, and soak in the beauty of the region.
