Our Audience
The Professional Remodeling Collective’s primary members are residential remodeling general and specialty contractor companies. The membership includes a diverse group of businesses that offer products and services to the remodeling industry that support the remodeling general and specialty contractors, which includes accountants, lenders, suppliers, manufacturers, marketing, insurance agents, etc. Members attend the Professional Remodeling Collective’s events looking for information on best practices and ways to deliver more value to their careers, their business, their employees, and their customers.
We have many different speaking opportunities.
• Roundtables: We need moderators to lead a close discussion and exploration of a specific topic with remodeling business owners. Participants will be sharing information/experience/questions about the specific topic and take away a better understanding and information from the roundtable. These events are typically no more than an hour and hold at least 6 per year. The Professional Remodeling Collective offers continuing education for this session and the attendees will receive a certificate. These sessions are held at the PRC office and we will provide lunch, as they typically start at 11:30 am. Topics may include: supply chain challenges, recruiting employees, operations efficiencies, company culture, etc.
• Field Trainings: This training is intended for companies to have a solution for training their field employees.

These sessions are held at the PRC office, and we will provide dinner for the attendees, as they typically start at 4:00 pm.

Exposure to the Remodeling Industry!
Speaking at a Professional Remodeling Collective event is a marketing opportunity. Many of our members look to current and former Association speakers when they need a service or even a presenter. So, speaking at a PRC event is great exposure for your company!
Tips for your proposals
• Content is king – If you really want to impress the audience, pack your presentation with powerful content.
• Be authentic and vulnerable – Don’t be afraid to speak of failure as well as success.
• Customize – Be sure your content truly speaks to the audience and is customized to their unique situations.
• Knowledge sharing is the most effective marketing – Sale pitches disguised as education will result in poor ratings and lost opportunities.
