Leading digital marketing services provider collaborates with AE Ventures to launch a Summit that will provide content and contacts to help builders market, merchandise and sell home technology.
September 5, 2013 — Today, AE Ventures announced its partnership with Builders Digital Experience (BDX) to launch its inaugural TecHome Builder Summit, scheduled for March 4-6, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency in Austin, TX.
The Summit will provide builders with usable advice and guidance on integrating new technology features efficiently and profitably into their offerings with high levels of customer satisfaction.
BDX, the Summit’s exclusive strategic partner, will contribute to the event by assisting with, targeting and recruiting VIP guests, collaborating with AE Ventures on original market research for general session content and hosting a reception at its headquarter facility in Austin.
“We’ve been talking to the AE Ventures team about the TecHome Builder Summit concept for years and are excited that the right moment in the market has arrived for this event,” said BDX chief executive officer, Tim Costello. “We’re looking forward to helping technology suppliers make better connections with strategic decision makers at homebuilding companies and helping suppliers and builders partner more effectively on sales and marketing efforts that will lift take rates and sell-through.”
With over 13 years in the homebuilding industry, BDX is a leading provider of digital marketing solutions for home builders. The company operates NewHomeSource.com and Move.com New Homes, the two leading new home destinations on the internet. BDX is also the force behind Envision, a fully-integrated and standardized online design options management portal.
BDX’s experience serving and working with top sales, marketing and design center/options executives from leading homebuilding companies will guide and enhance TecHome Builder’s search for the nation’s top integrators to invite to this VIP, invitation-only executive event.
“We’re excited to have BDX’s assistance on guest recruitment and research and to have them opening the doors to their innovative headquarter facility for a reception on March 5,” says AE Ventures president, John Galante.
“We need to get the technology industry better connected with top sales, marketing and options decision makers have at homebuilding companies, and BDX has the granular, institutional knowledge that will be critical for us in identifying professionals from the nation’s best and brightest homebuilding firms to attend the Summit. I believe both our builder guests and tech supplier sponsors will benefit from learning more about BDX’s proven suite of digital marketing services at the Summit and during the reception.”
