The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has officially opened registration for the 2026 NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS), set for Feb. 17–19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Marking its final year in Orlando before moving permanently to Las Vegas, IBS 2026 will once again co-locate with the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show® (KBIS) to form Design & Construction Week, the largest annual gathering of the residential design and construction industry.
 

Robust Education Opportunities

One of the key draws to the show is its unmatched industry education opportunities. With an Expo+Education Pass, attendees have three-day access to all IBS Education sessions as well as entry to both IBS and KBIS show floors. This includes a choice of 120+ sessions across nine tracks, covering today’s most pressing and relevant topics for builders, remodelers, designers and other housing industry pros. And for even more in-depth education, there are several intensive pre-show learning opportunities offered Feb. 14-16, available for additional fees.
 

Innovative Products and Trends

The expansive IBS show floor offers attendees access to see the latest innovative products and dynamic demonstrations. The IBS exhibit floor will again be organized into six main segments or groupings of products/services designed to enable attendees to use their time efficiently and more easily customize their experience to their specific needs and interests.

Other special features of the show floor include the New Product Zone and the IBS Start-up Zone, featuring a glimpse of products or services that are expected to shake up the residential construction industry. Perennial IBS favorites like the Construction Performance Zone and the Jobsite Safety Zone will also return in 2026. In addition to the indoor show floor exhibits, attendees can visit the IBS Outdoor Exhibits including the Pro Builder Show Village to network while touring demonstration homes and experiencing interactive programming and new products.
 

Networking and Special Events

The show is filled with numerous networking opportunities, social gatherings, dynamic speakers and special events. The first day will kick off for all registrants on the morning of Feb. 17 with an exciting DCW Opening Ceremonies, featuring Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith as the keynote speaker. That evening ticketed attendees can join the fun at the IBS House Party at Pointe Orlando. Other ticketed events throughout the week include the Young Pro Party at The Hampton Social on Wednesday night, and the DCW Closing Concert immediately after the show floor closes on Thursday night.

Attendees can also see the latest in design trends, product innovations and smart home technology in The New American Home® (TNAH) and The New American Remodel® (TNAR), the official show homes of IBS. Located in nearby Winter Park, the homes are available for IBS attendees and media members to tour throughout the show. Products showcased in the homes are provided by members of the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council, and Professional Builder magazine will once again serve as the homes’ media sponsor.
