The 2024 World of Modular returns to Orlando for industry’s biggest event | Dump Trucks Charlotte NC

The leaders and rising stars of the modular construction industry will gather again at the 2024 World of Modular in Orlando, FL, March 18-21, hosted by the Modular Building Institute (MBI), the world's largest trade association for the commercial modular construction industry.

For over 40 years, MBI's annual World of Modular conference and tradeshow has provided modular industry professionals a place to network, exchange ideas, learn from experts, discuss issues, display new products and receive well-deserved recognition. This annual event gives association members and non-members alike the opportunity to meet peers from around the world for four days of unparalleled industry education and business development. 

"I have been to a LOT of industry shows," says Steve Dubin, Western Regional Sales Manager (Residential) for Sika Corporation. "I can safely say [last year's 2023 World of Modular] was the most successful industry show I’ve ever been to in terms of ROI from creating new relationships and follow-ups."

The 2024 conference will return to Orlando's Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel and Resort, just minutes from the Orlando International Airport. The Rosen Shingle Creek was the location of the 2020 World of Modular, which—despite being affected by the first wave of COVID travel precautions—was one of the MBI's highest-attended conferences. Attendance continued to break records in 2022 and 2023; in 2024, MBI expects its highest attendance to date with nearly 2,000 modular industry professionals from around the world.

"We have every expectation that the Rosen will be packed," says John McMullen, PCM, Marketing Director at MBI. "Registrations are pacing ahead of last year. Booths are filling up quicker than last year. Every sign is pointing to this being our biggest and best World of Modular yet."

The four-day event will kick off Monday, March 18th, with an afternoon of golf, orientation and networking before its formal start at the opening party that evening. The following days will include more networking, grand prize contests and giveaways, marketing and media opportunities, and MBI's 2024 Awards of Distinction dinner and ceremony.

In addition to its formal networking opportunities, World of Modular’s keynotes and top-notch educational breakout sessions equip industry professionals with the latest knowledge in every facet of modular construction. Attendees are immersed in a collaborative space where the brightest minds from around the globe converge, share new skills and best practices, find ways to operate more efficiently and help develop the industry.

Speakers and panelists include modular manufacturers, designers, developers and more who will speak to dozens of topics spread across five distinct tracks: Design, Build, Install; Development Opportunities; Managing Your Business; Research & Innovation; and Sustainable Practices. In addition, multiple industry-specific government affairs and marketing sessions will also be held. 

"This is definitely going to be one of our best-ever events," says McMullen. “And, with so much excitement within the industry these days, I can’t think of a better time for it.”

Don't miss this once-a-year opportunity to meet, mingle and learn from the modular construction industry's best and brightest. Registration for the 2024 World of Modular is now open.
