2013 Basement Systems Dealer Convention Yields Awards

Oconomowoc, WI– October 7, 2025

Lakeside Total Basement Finishing was recently honored at the Annual Team Basement Systems Convention, a gathering with dealers located across the United States, Canada and the UK.

The annual convention is held each year at the Basement Systems headquarters in Seymour, CT and the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT. The three day event brings together dealers in the international network for training, seminars, networking, vendor and team building events, and celebration.

This year, Lakeside Total Basement Finishing received an award at the Team Basement Systems International Convention for ranking in second place among the Top 10 Total Basement Finishing Dealers by Purchases.

The high-powered event featured best-selling author and motivational speaker Aron Ralston. His book, Between A Rock And A Hard Place, was turned into the critically acclaimed movie 127 Hours starring James Franco. Ralston moved the crowd with his inspirational story of survival and posed for pictures afterwards with attendees.

Google also had a presence at this spectacular event. Two Google representatives delivered a behind the scenes peek at how to best utilize the search engines tools for successful business results.

Close to eleven hundred people attended the annual Basement Systems Convention this year, which is the highest attendance to date. The flagship event is held each August in Connecticut.

Lakeside Total Basement Finishing provides full service basement finishing and remodeling in Milwaukee, Rockford, Racine, and surrounding areas in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

The company is also proud to be a part of the Total Basement Finishing dealership network, providing basement finishing solutions developed specially to withstand the harshest basement moisture conditions -- even basement flooding!
