1 Welcome to the 2026 NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS), the best place to find what’s new, what’s next and what’s shaping the home building industry. There’s no better place to find the hottest new products, dynamic education programs and the biggest networking opportunity of the year. Your IBS registration gives you access to the exhibit floor, where you will find the latest products, materials and technologies to impress your customers and grow your business. The 2026 IBS Exhibit halls are once again organized into six easy-to-navigate product and service segments, plus the Outdoor Exhibits — making it easier to find the products and services you’re looking for. For the 13th year, the Builders’ Show is co-located with the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show® (KBIS) as part of Design & Construction Week® (DCW). Combined, IBS and KBIS feature more than 2,250 exhibitors across 1.2 million square feet and over 115,000 registrants – making DCW the largest annual gathering of the residential and light construction industry in the world. IBS registration also gives you access to the KBIS show floor. But IBS is more than exhibits. It’s an unmatched learning experience. With more than 120 education sessions, you’ll find valuable insights for every niche and learning style. • Building Knowledge Sessions are 60-minute sessions across nine tracks that are the foundation of IBS Education. • Super Sessions are popular topics reimagined into high-energy, in-depth experiences. • Game Changers pair an industry CEO with an expert from outside the residential construction industry to learn techniques, strategies and approaches tailored for our industry. • AI & Tech Studio offers sharp and smart sessions grounded in real-world applications, tailored for residential construction pros to explore the latest technology and innovations transforming our industry. Be sure to tour The New American Home® and The New American Remodel®, the two official show homes of IBS 2026. These homes highlight the latest in design, construction methods and innovation — and are always attendee favorites. IBS is also the ultimate place to connect. Visit the five IBS Centrals — Custom Building, Design, Multifamily, Remodeling and Sales — for focused networking, live demos and expert discussions with peers who share your interests. And don’t forget to have fun! Start your week at the DCW Opening Ceremonies, then enjoy the energy of the IBS House Party, Young Pro Party and the always-popular Closing Concert. I hope you have a fantastic time here in Orlando. Discover the latest products, learn from industry experts and build relationships that will last long after the show ends. It’s all happening right here at the 2026 International Builders’ Show.
