IBS to Feature Two Showcase Homes, Koppel as Keynote
The 2007 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla. will feature two showcase homes for the first time ― one “new” and one “remodeled” — that reflect the challenges and advantages of the “re-gentrification” movement with in-city housing. In addition, Ted Koppel, former anchor of ABC’s “Nightline” and a 42-year veteran of ABC News, will be the keynote speaker.
IBS, from Feb. 7-10, also will feature more than 1,600 exhibitors, 450 of them on exhibit for the first time, and more than 200 education sessions covering every facet of the home building industry.
