We’re proud to announce that Ashley Sheaffer will be representing KBF Design Gallery at the upcoming Women in Residential Construction (WIRC) Conference, taking place September 24–26, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency in Austin, Texas.
This premier industry event—hosted by Pro Remodeler, Pro Builder, and Custom Builder—brings together women leaders across homebuilding and remodeling to share expertise, spark innovation, and strengthen connections. With dynamic keynote speakers, tailored breakout tracks, engaging roundtables, and standout networking opportunities, it’s one of the most important gatherings in residential construction today.
Ashley’s Sessions
On Thursday, September 25, Ashley will take the stage for three highly anticipated sessions in Zilker Ballroom #1:
- 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. | AI Hackathon: Solving Everyday Remodeling Problems
11:00 – 11:45 a.m. | AI Hackathon: Solving Everyday Remodeling Problems

These interactive roundtable sessions will focus on practical, “down-and-dirty” AI solutions for everyday marketing, operations, and communications challenges faced by remodelers. Ashley will join peers in exploring how emerging tools can streamline processes, free up creative energy, and ultimately deliver better client experiences.
“I’ll be stepping onto the stage at a Women in Construction conference—sharing insights, learning from other trailblazers, and weaving new connections. This time at the conference is an investment in vision: I believe growth happens when we step beyond our daily routines, and this week is about fueling fresh ideas, strengthening networks, and bringing back bold strategies for KBF. While attending, I’m gathering inspiration and perspectives that will keep KBF moving forward with clarity and creativity.”
