Sign Up for Expert Advice at the Builders’ Show
 This year, the 2007 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando is offering several “Advice From the Experts” sessions that will enable attendees to engage industry experts in a range of topics in a more personal forum than the more traditional education sessions also offered at the builders’ show.
The “Advice From the Experts” sessions supplement the extensive educational programs offered at IBS and provide attendees opportunities to explore the latest trends and best practices and learn how to grow their businesses and careers.
Past show attendees cite the educational programs at IBS as one of the main draws of the show. The programs are offered in several categories covering the industry in general as well as specific areas of expertise.
What the Experts Will Be Talking About
“Advice From the Experts” sessions are available for several topics, including:
- Active Adult Housing — A question and answer dialogue with active adult housing experts in a panel presentation format. Topics include marketing, product design, sales and tips especially for small and midsize builders.
- Land Planning Charrette — This is an intensive, hands-on opportunity for builders and developers to take part in a mock charette and visioning process. Attendees will learn the techniques used in taking the project from concept, to plan, to finished product.
- American Institute of Architects (AIA) Plan Review Workshop — In this one-on-one workshop, architects and interior merchandisers will spend 25 minutes reviewing attendees’ house plans, then illustrate how to change the plans in order to meet the needs of today’s home buyers.
- National Sales and Marketing Council/Institute of Residential Marketing (NSMC/IRM) Meet the Experts — These interactive sessions represent an informal opportunity for convention attendees to talk to experts and interact with each other in a more intimate forum.
- Land Planning Workshop — Meet one-on-one with a nationally experienced land-planning and development consultation firm to review and discuss development plans and programs, generating useful feedback and options to assist in devising a successful development strategy.
