Jonathan Smoke, Sr. Vice President/CIO of Beazer Homes and a member of the TBX advisory council, states that “I am looking forward to the opportunity to network with my peers and partners at TBX while we all try to stay up-to-speed with trends and new technologies. Since this is the only event that's focused solely on technology for the home and the industry, it should be one of, if not the most, valuable events for homebuilding technology leaders.”
