A Few Initiatives IMW is Focusing On This Year.
At IMW, we believe in putting our energy where it counts. The trades shaped our world—and now it’s our turn to shape what’s next. we are putting our money where our mouth is, supporting non-profits that move the industry forward!
Build the Trades is just one of the many areas we're putting energy into this year.
Through grassroots initiatives like the Wingnut Challenge and the Trade Teacher Summer Camp, we’re helping students, educators, and brands connect in bold, hands-on ways that actually move the needle.
The Wingnut Challenge: Trade students take center stage in a no-fluff, real-world product demo competition. It’s raw, creative, and totally unscripted—and the industry is paying attention.
Trade Teacher Summer Camp: Next July, we’re bringing together educators for an immersive building science experience—led by industry pros, powered by sponsor support, and designed to level up classrooms across the country.
And because we love this community, we’ve committed to spreading BS* far and wide this year.
We've made a commitment at IMW Group to support the BS + Beer and Green Architects Lounge Shows through fractional marketing support. It’s a scrappy, smart, genuinely fun initiative that brings building science folks together—and we’re all in on helping it grow.
