Every year, PCBC presents a series of high-caliber educational conferences for the homebuilding community, plus dynamic keynote sessions from some of the brightest talents in business, journalism, sports and entertainment. During Bestbath’s participation in the forums, we turned on the cameras and collected a series of exceptionally valuable information for our dealers, architects, builders and customers.
Since we’re all busy professionals, the Bestbath team knew that sitting through the entire presentation could be difficult. That’s why we’ve broken our videos into simple, easy-to-watch segments that you can view while you enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. In a hurry? We’ve also transcribed the conversations, so you can just read through at your own speed!
Enjoy!
