| 2007 International Builders' Show will be largest ever More than 100,000 housing professionals are expected to descend on Orlando, Fla., for the 2007 International Builders' Show (IBS). Hosted by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the housing industry's largest annual light construction trade show and exhibition will be held at the Orange County Convention Center, Feb. 7-10. Held in one of the biggest convention centers in the country, the 2007 IBS boasts the housing industry's largest new-product showcase at more than one million net square feet, with a record 1,800 exhibitors displaying the latest cutting-edge products, services, designs and technologies available to the home building community. The exhibit floor will feature suppliers spanning more than 300 categories ranging across every aspect of the residential and light commercial construction fields. Building professionals looking for an edge on the latest in home building technologies can also visit nextBUILD, the newly renamed technology component of IBS, which will showcase more than 200 exhibitors. Builders and their affiliates will also be able to choose from more than 290 educational sessions and have the opportunity to earn credit toward a professional designation by attending pre-show educational seminars. For the first time ever, IBS will also feature two showcase homes -- one new and one remodeled. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
