Builders Attended IBS in Orlando in Record Numbers
A record number of housing industry professionals — 104,922 — came to the 2005 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla., earlier this month. Attendance topped last year’s record set at the show in Las Vegas.
This is the first year that IBS was held in Orlando. The show will be held in Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center again next year from Jan. 11-14.
Show attendees saw demonstrations and product displays and services from more than 1,400 exhibitors. The exhibitors represented more than 300 building industry categories.
IBS also featured more than 200 educational seminars, including such courses as “Kitchen & Bath Design Trends 2005,” “50 Must Have Features for Today's Homebuyers” and “Building Better Not Bigger —The Not So Big House.”
Handouts from many of the seminars are available through the Builders’ Show Web site and can be downloaded at http://www.BuildersShow.com/seminars.
