 Who Should Attend?

Just about everyone involved in the industry will benefit by coming to IBS. “Our entire company, 10 people, came,” said Stacy Thomas, a designer with Environs Development, which specializes in the design and construction of classic single-family homes and townhomes in Chicago. The International Builders’ Show is the one place we can see everything — and get our hands on everything. We need that.”

More than 100,000 industry professionals — single-family home builders, multifamily builders and developers, commercial builders, remodelers, architects, engineers, Realtors®, subcontractors, land developers and more — attended IBS last year.

Discounted Registration Fees Available

First-time attendees who are NAHB members can register for the deeply discounted first-time attendee rate of $100.

Returning NAHB members who sign up for full registration before Oct. 14 ― which includes access to the educational sessions and exhibits for all four days of the show — will get a $25 early-bird discount.

And spouses have the best deal of all. Registration for them is free when traveling to IBS with their spouse.

Paul and Cynthia Peaveyhouse, of Peavyhouse Construction Services based in Erwin, Tenn., were first-time attendees at IBS last year and plan to go back again. “I understand why people say that this is the place to see all the new products, innovations and ideas,” Peavyhouse said. “After the show, we were eager to go back to our local distributors and tell them about what we’ve found that we think is really exciting. We’ll definitely be back again.”
