For BMC Stock, it was 'showtime'

BMC Stock Holdings boosted its 6th annual National Meeting in Las Vegas with a little star power. Basketball legend Magic Johnson and funny man Jay Leno added their voices to what was part trade show and part sales meeting.

The event, held in Las Vegas at the Rio Hotel, marked the coming together of for industry leaders: BMC, Stock, VNS and RBI. The show theme, “Better Together,” "articulated the energy and passion of the employees, as well as the vision for the future," according to the Atlanta-based pro dealer.

The message throughout the meeting included “one company, one plan -- together we lead, together we build.” Peter Alexander, president and CEO stated, “We’ve put these companies together because of shared purpose to take care of the customer, shared values to have each other’s back, shared commonality of managing our business with minimal debt, and to take advantage of synergies that make us better together.”

The Las Vegas event took place from Monday Jan. 11 through Friday Jan. 15 and was attended by over 2,800 people, including builders, architects, designers, employees and vendors.

The event included entertainment and relationship-building with guest appearances from motivational speaker and basketball super star Magic Johnson and comedian Jay Leno.
