NextGen Leadership Conference
Growth & Education
NextGen is focused on developing the LBM leaders of tomorrow. Our conference is packed with seminars and education that fosters career growth.

Community
Students are part of the LBM community and NextGen offers the opportunity to connect with other members. The camaraderie is often cited as the highlight for students.

In-Depth Case Studies
Each conference includes an in-depth mill tour where you’ll see how other are innovating and meet with the owners and staff to understand how their role adds to the operation.

Fun & Relaxation
We always find time to relax and have fun. It might be a historical tour, a riverboat ride, cocktail party, whatever! It’s an opportunity to let loose and network.
