New Technologies on Display at nextBUILD at Builders’ Show
 The latest home building technologies will be on display at nextBUILD™, the newly renamed technology component of the 2007 International Builders’ Show (IBS) from Feb. 7-10 in Orlando, Fla.
“Cutting-edge builders realize that technology is critical not only to their business management, but to their customers, as consumers are demanding state-of-the art technology in their homes,” said Harvey Edwards, NAHB Convention Committee chair and president of Tuscaloosa Building & Land Co. in Tuscaloosa, Ala. “That's why the technology pavilion is one of the most visited sections of the IBS and why the new and expanded nextBUILD™ is sure to be an even bigger draw at the 2007 show."
Formerly called tecHOMExpo, nextBUILD™ will feature more than 200 exhibitors offering both back-end office technologies to help builders improve their business management processes and the top technologies that consumers are asking for in their homes.
New Technology Forums
The show will also offer several education sessions to help builders implement the new technologies on display. Builder technology forums will be offered to assist builders with specific software issues and demonstrate how technology can help them run a more efficient and profitable business.
 These moderated panels that include builders and technology experts will explore such topics as:
- Wireless communications
- Paperless solutions
- Integrating the Internet into business
- Examining future technologies
Builders will also have the opportunity to get hands-on demonstrations, test drive the latest software solutions and ask vendors questions about their products through nextBUILD™’s interactive computer labs.
