Co-located with KBIS (Kitchen & Bath Industry Show) and NHS (National Hardware Show), the IBS provides a comprehensive platform that covers virtually every aspect of the building industry. 

The exhibition floor presents an extensive product offering across sectors like nextBuild, IBS Home Technology Pavilion, IBS Safety Pavilion, New Product Zone, and Outdoor Pavilion. The diverse range of products and services on display caters to the diverse needs and interests of the industry professionals attending the event. The full product portfolio extends to:

Beyond the impressive showcase of products, IBS emphasises education through its robust program of over 120 learning sessions.

These educational opportunities are categorised into various tracks such as New Content, Game Changers, Spotlight, Building Knowledge, and Tech Bytes, among others, ensuring that every visitor finds sessions that align with their interests and goals. 

The Builders’ Show goes beyond being just an exhibition; it creates an environment that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration within the residential construction sector. It offers a platform for competitions like the NAHB Awards, Best of IBS Awards, Best in American Living, and more, where the most outstanding innovations in home design and construction receive recognition and validation. 

With a staggering attendance of over 70,000 residential construction professionals, IBS provides a captive audience and ample opportunities for businesses to generate leads and drive sales. Exhibitors can maximise exposure through interactions with key decision-makers and benefit from media coverage with over 400 media outlets present during the three-day event. 

Who Are You Going to Meet? 

For suppliers and manufacturers seeking to showcase their products and services to a wide array of professionals, IBS is the ultimate marketplace. Builders, architects, developers, dealers, and distributors flock to the show, eager to discover the latest cutting-edge designs, technologies, and solutions in the industry. This unparalleled gathering facilitates meaningful connections, knowledge exchange, and business opportunities that span across various sectors of the residential construction market. 

You have a wide variety in scale as well. Some buyers are large national builders, who are invested in making large purchases. You can also easily diversify your revenue stream as IBS attracts a lot of small local builders and custom home builders. Either way you stand to make great contacts and build fruitful partnerships in the long run. 

Additional Value of Attending 

The Builders’ Show is not only a platform for showcasing the latest products and innovations in the residential construction industry, but it also offers attendees valuable opportunities for hands-on learning and skill development through its demo zones. 

The first demo zone, the Construction Performance Zone, formerly known as the IBS Building Zone, is a hub of expertise where industry professionals gather to reveal best practices for constructing more durable, efficient and higher-quality homes. Experts share their knowledge and insights, taking attendees through the various stages of building construction. This zone serves as a treasure trove of information with live demonstrations that cover everything from basement construction to wall systems and all the way up to roofing techniques. Builders, architects, and developers can gain valuable insights and expert tips to enhance the performance and longevity of their projects. 

A new addition to the Builders’ Show, the Craft Techniques Zone, delves into the intricate details and finishes that complete a home. In this zone, visitors can actively participate in a series of 30-minute interactive demonstrations that highlight best practices, tips and how-to techniques and skills related to the craft side of the residential building industry. From fine craftsmanship in woodwork to artistic finishes, this zone offers a unique opportunity to explore and learn from experts in the field. It provides a hands-on experience that enhances attendees' understanding of the finer aspects of home construction, elevating the level of craftsmanship in the industry.
