What's New

The 2024 NAHB International Builders' Show^® (IBS) always provides an unrivaled networking and educational event for the residential construction industry. We’re introducing several exciting changes to enrich your experience even more!

Here's a glimpse at what's new.

Pre-Show Learning Symposiums

Explore critical segments of the housing sector with industry-leading education and content experts, network with and discuss challenges and best practices with your peers in two pre-show symposiums.

These symposiums are in-depth, full-day intensive programs in a small, informal setting. One is a Building Science Symposium and the other is a Remodeling Symposium.

Going Back to Basics with Design & Construction Week

We're going back to our roots with Design & Construction Week, featuring IBS and NKBA’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. It’s going to be much easier for attendees to navigate the two original shows rather than the five shows that took place in 2023.

Segmentation of the Exhibit Floor

We’re introducing segmentation on the show floor, a new layout strategy designed to enhance your IBS experience. Segmentation aims to group similar exhibitors together in six different categories, making it easier for attendees to find complementary products and services.

Attendees will be able to navigate the show floor more efficiently, save time and find the products and services they’re looking for at the show. It enables focused networking as attendees can more easily connect with other professionals interested in the same sectors or products.

Addition of a New Time Slot for IBS Education Sessions

We're thrilled to announce the addition of a new time slot for IBS Education Sessions. Attendees can attend even more sessions and have a more robust educational experience. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from top industry professionals and gain insights that can propel your business forward.

Encore IBS Education Sessions

In response to high demand, we've introduced encore IBS Education Sessions. If you missed a popular session or wished you could attend two sessions that were happening at the same time at a previous show, encore sessions solve your problem!

Select sessions will be repeated, giving you the flexibility to manage your schedule and ensure you don't miss out on critical learning opportunities.
