US-based Modular Building Institute’s event affirms industry enthusiasm for modular construction.
Last week’s 2022 iteration of the Modular Building Institute’s (MBI) World of Modular conference and tradeshow attracted over 1,000 in-person and digital attendees from more than 20 countries.
Billed as the modular construction industry’s largest and longest-running event, it attracted professionals from around the world to network, exchange ideas, learn from experts, and discuss issues.
The event was held at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio, Texas.
With more than 50 breakout sessions focused on a range of topics such as manufacturing efficiencies; emergency preparedness; engineering and design of modular buildings; legal, insurance, and regulatory issues; case studies; and business development topics.

“It’s been spectacular,” says Mike Wilmot, president and founder of Wilmot Modular and newly-elected chair of MBI’s board of directors. “We’ve seen so many industry experts. The industry is changing greatly and I believe that we’re going to be able to do wonderful things. Great, great convention and wonderful people!”
“World of Modular has been great, says Krzysztof Droszcz, founder and owner of Poland-based iQ Module. “The perfect place to be. We’ve refreshed a lot of friendships and started professional relationships with some new companies as well. We have achieved exactly what we have come for. It’s been great.”
MBI recognized Andy Berube, vice president of Stack Modular, as Volunteer of the Year for his long-standing commitment to the industry and his reliable service as part of MBI’s public relations committee.
The Awards of Distinction contest highlighted over 140 modular projects with winning entries from the U.S., Canada, China, Brazil, Chile, Poland, and Australia.
Plans are already underway for next year’s World of Modular conference to be held at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, from March 29 through April 1, 2023. The 2023 event will also celebrate MBI’s 40th anniversary.
“The 2023 World of Modular is going to be like nothing else,” says MBI marketing director John McMullen. “I can’t wait.”
