More than 76,000 builders, remodelers, developers, and other home building professionals filled the exhibit halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center as the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) hosted the 80th NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS), February 27-29, 2024. NAHB says this was the show’s highest attendance level since 2009 and reflects the bullish outlook of the residential construction industry.
Attendees visited more than 1,800 exhibitors over 678,000 net square feet, exploring innovative building products and technology to advance the industry and enhance new homes. The size of the show floor increased nearly 12 percent from the 2023 show.
This year also marked the 11th anniversary of Design & Construction Week® (DCW), the co-location of IBS and the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s (NKBA’s) Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS).
IBS attendees enhanced their industry knowledge by attending any of more than 120 education sessions led by experts on a wide range of industry topics, including artificial intelligence, building technology, research, and trends. Attendees also visited The New American Home™ that showcased the latest trends and innovations in home building.
Next year, DCW will return to Las Vegas, February 25-27.
