It’s my hope that everyone is making plans to attend the 2022 National Association of Home Builders’ International Builders’ Show (IBS). I am excited to announce that we will once again be meeting in person, Feb. 8-10, 2022, in Orlando.

IBS is the largest annual residential and light-construction trade show in the world—a premier event that connects the entire home building industry.

Nothing compares to the IBS exhibit floor. Knowledgeable company representatives will showcase the hottest new trends in products and services from top manufacturers and suppliers from across the country and around the globe, all in one place.

Every year, hundreds of new products and services are launched during IBS. If it goes into constructing a home, you’ll find it on the show floor.

More Reasons to Attend IBS

The exhibits alone are reason enough to attend the show, but IBS offers so much more:

  • Network with other builders, remodelers, manufacturers, engineers, designers, and housing industry professionals
  • Find new opportunities to grow and expand your business
  • Benefit from brand visibility from the numerous media outlets in attendance

The 2020 show welcomed more than 90,000 attendees. That kind of exposure will amplify the reach you and your business both have.

You’ll also want to take advantage of the unparalleled education sessions led by a who’s who in residential construction. The education program features more than 100 sessions taught by industry experts from across the country who will share insights on tackling niche-specific challenges on everything from sales and marketing to construction and codes.
