Epicor to Host the 2018 Epicor Lumber and Building Materials User Conference

Epicor lumber and building materials (LBM) customers in North America to gain hands-on education, explore new strategies for solving business challenges, and discuss emerging industry and business trends

Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, announced today that it will host the Epicor LBM User Conference at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. on November 12-14, 2018.

Returning this year to its inaugural location in the "City of Lights,” LBM User Conference attendees can expect to discover new strategies for solving business challenges, participate in hands-on education, and discuss emerging industry, technology, and operational trends—all to help businesses get fit for growth and innovation for the future.

• "I absolutely recommend the Epicor LBM User Conference to users of Epicor BisTrack™ and Epicor LumberTrack™ software. My favorite thing about the conference is being able to meet with the BisTrack software team face-to-face, as typically every interaction we have with them back at the office is either over the phone or by email. Having been using BisTrack software for ten years, we know most of the team and so it’s great to reconnect in person. Also, meeting people from similar businesses and hearing their successes or solutions to challenges is invaluable. Everything we take back from the conference helps us improve our business and boost utilization of BisTrack software."
• - Curt Viehmeyer, Owner and General Manager, Sears Trostel Lumber & Millwork

The Epicor LBM management team, account managers, support representatives, and training team members will be on hand to teach classes, interact with attendees, and demonstrate the latest in LBM and wood products technologies. Throughout the three-day event, attendees will have opportunities to join in-depth boot camp sessions, network with peers, and learn and share industry best practices.

“We recently upgraded to LumberTrack software, and so the LBM User Conference has provided an excellent opportunity to see new features in the software, learn about existing features, and how to use them,” said Mary Lou Carlson, president, Middle Atlantic Wholesale Lumber. “For me, the most valuable part of the conference is the one-on-one time spent with staff. All-in-all, the knowledge I gain at the conference makes the trip very worthwhile.”

“We are looking forward to seeing our North American LBM customers once again at this year’s conference,” said Kevin Hodge, senior LBM product director, Epicor Software. “Our in-depth conference extends beyond merely software training and education—attendees will have many opportunities to learn from other Epicor customers, and can also arrange individual meetings with BisTrack and LumberTrack software product experts.
