For over a decade, NABTU has hosted the annual Tradeswomen Build Nations Conference (TWBN), which has since become the largest gathering of tradeswomen in the world. This year's 14th TWBN will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, from Friday, September 27, to Sunday, September 29, at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside / New Orleans Convention Center. The NOLA-inspired theme is “Let the Good Jobs Roll.”

Registration for this year's event is now open! This fantastic conference books fast, so please visit nabtu.org/twbn to register and book your hotel room. If your council or local is handling your registration, please ensure they have all of your information to do a group registration, or you may set up your individual profile and provide the council or local payment information. For any registration questions, please contact registration@nabtu.org.
 
We anticipate record numbers again this year! Registration will close on August 30, 2024, or once we hit 5,000 registrations. There will be no on-site registration, and paid registration is mandatory for ALL guests over the age of 12.
 
We need and want sponsors. However, aspiring sponsors are not to register through the general registration portal that opened today. NABTU will send out the TWBN sponsorship packet separately. We urge sponsors to wait until you receive the packet before taking any registration action. To request a sponsorship packet or for questions regarding sponsorship, please email Carlos Morrobel at carlos@nabtu.org. 
 
Sisters, Brothers, and allies, NABTU is so excited about this year’s conference! We will continue to send out more information in advance of the conference, so stay tuned and reach out with any questions!  Lastly, please remember to spread the word online and to your peers! We look forward to seeing you all in New Orleans this fall.
