The 2025 VFTI Conference Features Six Learning Tracks:
Building & Remodeling
Today’s design-build process is more in tune with the changing design and construction needs of homeowners and requires designers and their teams to have a high degree of collaboration between themselves and contractors. Discuss resources, before-and-after, trends, specialized markets, decision making, budgets, codes, processes, additions.
Leadership & Management
Discover how the strength of an organization – and its potential to generate revenue – depends greatly on the quality of leadership. Achieve positive business results by managing your resources. Control risk by aligning finance, organizational structure, and marketing initiatives with your business goals. Inspire the best from your team through focusing on principles of effective leadership.
Design
Explore and create aesthetically pleasing and functional kitchens and baths that incorporate all aspects of design to include lighting, plumbing, cabinet installation and more. Design and plan safe and effective kitchens and baths based on the latest industry standards.
Hot Topics
From sustainability, to AI, there’s always something new to talk about in the industry. Take a deep dive into the subjects that everyone is talking about – but may not know much about. Examples for 2025 could include: CRM software and project management, trends in consumer financing, and the growing expectation for smart technology.
