BCMC 2026 is officially one week away, and we cannot wait to see the structural building components industry come together in Columbus. 
From September 14–18, component manufacturers, framers, suppliers, and industry professionals from across the country will come together for a week built around what BCMC does best: connect, learn, and grow.
And there is a lot to look forward to.
The week starts with the Welcome Party, giving attendees a chance to reconnect with longtime industry friends, meet new people, and kick off BCMC together. It’s a great way to start a week centered on the relationships and camaraderie that make this industry special.
More than 115 exhibitors will fill the show floor with equipment, technology, products, software, and solutions designed for our industry. Attendees can see machinery in action, talk directly with suppliers, explore new ideas, and get a firsthand look at what is helping move component manufacturing and framing forward.
Beyond the show floor, BCMC offers more than 20 hours of industry-focused education, with sessions covering the issues, opportunities, and ideas that matter to your business. Jesse Itzler will take the stage as this year’s keynote speaker, and Todd Tomalak of Zonda will provide an economic forecast with insights into the housing and construction markets.
Innovation will be on display throughout the week, too. The four 2026 SBCA Innovation Grant recipients, Cadynce, Crowdbuild™, Shelfmark, and Stiles Machinery, will be at BCMC showcasing the technologies and solutions that earned them this year’s grants.
And if quality is on your mind, don’t miss SBCA’s FREE Quality Bootcamp on Thursday, September 17. The morning program will dig into QC, QA, ANSI/TPI 1, and building code requirements, and Bootcamp registration includes complimentary access to the BCMC show floor Thursday afternoon.
Of course, some of the best parts of BCMC happen between the scheduled events, from conversations in the aisles to sharing ideas and learning how others are tackling the same challenges you are.
For one week, Columbus is where our industry will be.
We’re ready. Columbus is ready. Now we just need you.
