LAS VEGAS, Feb. 05, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hundreds of modular construction professionals are gathering this March 15 – 18th in Las Vegas, NV for World of Modular 2018, the modular building industry's largest and longest running event of the year. For 36 years, the Modular Building Institute's convention has provided professionals in the industry a place to network, exchange ideas, learn from experts, discuss issues, and display new products.

World of Modular serves as an open forum for anyone interested in the modular construction industry. For suppliers of building products, services, and financing, this MBI trade show remains the best place to reach manufacturers and dealers of modular buildings.

The largest and longest-running conference dedicated to modular construction and attended by almost every major modular builder in North America

Keynote speaker Darren Woodson, three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys and five-time Pro Bowl selection, will speak about what leaders must embrace in order to build a culture of excellence within their teams. Woodson will address how to embrace change, competition, and confrontation with organizations.

Economist Anirban Basu, CEO of Sage Policy Group, returns to World of Modular to offer an informative and entertaining forecast for the construction marketplace.

Cindy Olsen, Director of Construction Municipal Onboarding at Katerra, and Brett Jones, Jurisdiction Manager at Katerra, will discuss Katerra's latest innovations, and how they are building on expertise gained in electronics manufacturing to deliver better, faster, cheaper building projects in their presentation "Advancing Offsite Construction: New Technology & Approaches".

Founder of iUnit, Brice Leconte, will talk about how modular construction is a viable way to meet continued changes in building codes requiring more efficient buildings while staying cost effective in his presentation "A Developer's Perspective: Modular as the Future of Sustainable Building".

Director of Product Management at GreenStaxx Jason Landry's session focuses on ways the modular design & construction industry can apply the concepts of standardization while still providing developers with the ability to customize their residential units and buildings to meet their local market needs.

Ron Ciotti, legal expert and partner at Hinckley Allen, will provide various risk mitigation strategies available at different stages of a modular project in order to mitigate the risk of material price escalation in order to preserve the feasibility and profitability of builders and prefabricator's work in his session "Tariffs, Taxes and Trade Wars: Strategies to Mitigate the Risk of Material Price Escalation in an Uncertain Political Climate".

ManufactOn Founder and CEO Raghi Iyengar will explore how ManufactOn, a SaaS (mobile/web) software platform built to help construction companies plan, track and optimize modular construction, connects all the critical pieces of the modular supply chain from design, to production in the factory, through installation at the jobsite in his session "Connecting the Dots: Managing the Complete Lifecycle of Modular Construction".

William Huberty, Prescient Regional VP of Business Development – West, will discuss Prescient's speed, hard cost savings, and overall site safety vs traditional concrete construction in his session "Transitioning from Century Old Practices to a System Leverages Advanced Manufacturing". Prescient has either completed or is nearing completion of over 40 large assignments in the US in a span of only seven years and their system does not rely on a large supporting cast of skilled laborers to go vertical given there is no measuring, cutting, or welding required.

President of Stack Modular Jim Dunn will present a case study on the joint venture between STACK Modular and its partner, BIRD Construction to build a 94 suite modular hotel that will travel from Shanghai through the Panama Canal and back North to the most northern territory in world in his presentation "Modular Hotel Designed, Manufactured, Delivered & Installed Under the Most Difficult Conditions on Earth". Dunn will table key client drivers and lessons learned to date on the turn key process that combines both conventional and modular methods of construction.

These are only a few of the top-notch educational breakout sessions that will be hosted at World of Modular. They will equip industry professionals with the latest knowledge in every facet of the commercial modular construction business.

With interest in modular and offsite construction at an all-time high, this event is a must-attend for anyone who wants to learn more about modular and prefab.
