500 in Attendance for Second Annual User Conference
On January 17, 2024, contractors from across the globe descended on Dallas, Texas for the second annual JobTread Connect user conference.
With 500 in attendance, this 3-day conference allows JobTread users a chance to learn, connect, and grow. Featuring 25 industry partners to help JobTread customers users build their power team, attendees were able to choose from 32 different education sessions and gain insights from 4 different keynote speakers.
Day One
The first day featured an opening kick-off session led by JobTread Founder & CEO, Eric Fortenberry. After his insightful discussion on why he built JobTread out of a needs basis, attendees heard from Mike Claudio, Owner of WinRate Consulting, about designing a life of purposeful priorities. After two rounds of educational sessions and industry roundtable discussions, attendees were treated to dinner and drinks at JobTread’s headquarters.
"Coming to the JobTread Connect event, it's awesome because it's a community, which is a unique thing to say about software because most software is just software."
Logan Shinholser, Contractor Growth Network
Day Two
Day two kicked off with more networking and a morning keynote from Aaron Harshaw, Owner of Harshaw Home Renovators and Coach & Member Champion of The Contractor Fight, who spoke about how to stand out in your industry with sales done differently. The day featured more educational sessions and another keynote from Eric Fortenberry on how to build a great company from the ground up. A highlight of the afternoon was learning who won the first ever JobTread Awards! With 10 winners announced in 8 categories, this was the time to reflect on the remarkable achievements of JobTread users over the last year.
After the networking happy hour, attendees hopped on a shuttle bus to attend the Big Night Out at Bowlero. This evening event featured bowling, billiards, and of course a full dinner and open bar.
"That's why we came to the Connect Conference— to learn what more we can do. After having an "aha" moment, I'm now focused on how we can transform our company to fully utilize JobTread and maximize its potential."
Andrew Gerding, Live Oak Studios
Day Three
On the final day, attendees grabbed a seat for the morning keynote presented by Kyle Hunt, Owner of Remodelers on the Rise who talked about designing a business that runs smoothly and allows you to live your life to the fullest. Following several more educational sessions, attendees were guided in building out their goals for 2024 with JobTread Director of Learning and Development, Dr. Anna Hunter.
The day concluded with the JobTread product development keynote where Eric announced new exciting updates and shared the future development roadmap.
