2022 MABFO MEGA Conference | Margaritaville Lake Resort | November 9-11, 2022

Members, attached is the conference flyer outlining the educational schedule as well as the registration form, and a message from MABFO President Ed Berkel.

Thank you for considering the third MABFO Educational Conference!
All the Missouri ICC Chapters have joined together for yet another historic event this November at the Lake of the Ozarks. Similar to our previous MEGA Conference, our primary purpose of this exciting event is to educate building
officials, fire officials, architects, engineers, and other code professionals while raising money for the upcoming ICC Annual Meeting to be held in St. Louis, Missouri in October 2023. We realize this will be a BIG undertaking as well as an
honor to host this nationwide event in Missouri yet again.


Your participation in this year’s MEGA conference is paramount to the hosting of the 2023 ICC Meeting and we hope you will join us for this important educational conference. We understand that everyone is affected by budget constraints, and therefore the committee has been working hard to provide extra value at this conference. This event promotes 2 ½ Days of training by ICC Instructors and Industry Experts along with a Vendor Expo, Prize Opportunities, and – most importantly – the opportunity to network with your peers such as building officials, fire officials, architects, engineers, and other code professionals.


I hope you give serious consideration to attending this educational event.

President | Missouri Association of Building & Fire Officials
