The NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS), the largest light construction tradeshow in the industry, offers a look into products, trends and topics of interest for the year ahead through both its exhibits as well as its educational opportunities. The 2024 IBS not only includes more than 120 education sessions throughout the show; it will also feature three pre-show symposiums dedicated to building science, remodeling and developing the next generation of leaders.

Building Science Symposium
Monday, Feb. 26 | 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

An extension of the annual six-city national tour, the Building Science Symposium will host its culminating event at IBS 2024. Led by today’s top high performance experts and builders, this IBS pre-show event offers industry-best insights for elevating your building practices, from understanding standards and integrating performance components to providing durable, energy-efficient enclosures. Hear best practices for flashing, air control, vapor and moisture management, indoor air quality (IAQ) and more.

Remodeling Symposium
Monday, Feb. 26 | 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

With interest rates high and new home availability low, more consumers are choosing to remain in their current homes, making remodeling and renovation one of the industry’s busiest segments. Now’s the time to re-examine critical practices to ensure you’re firing on all cylinders and ready to take advantage of this exponential growth and demand. Join the industry’s leading experts sharing best practices and process improvements as you take a deep dive into each facet of a remodeler’s business, including design, pre-construction, building technique, sales and marketing, business and project management and more.

Registration is $195 for NAHB members and can be added during the IBS registration process. See the full lineup for the symposium.
