Education at IBS
Published

The NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) is the housing industry’s largest annual light construction show in the world. With a host of educational sessions each year for various segments of the industry, IBS is the perfect venue for speakers to share their knowledge and expertise with members of the home building community.

Here’s why you should share your knowledge, experience and expertise at the 2025 IBS, which will take place Feb. 25-27 in Las Vegas:

  1. Elevate your status as a thought leader.
  2. Energize your business by attracting an audience at the premier show in the light construction industry.
  3. Get in front of industry professionals attending the largest show of its kind.
  4. Speaker slots are highly competitive, so don’t wait.
  5. The April 30 deadline is looming.

“Speaking at IBS is a unique and special privilege,” shared a past IBS speaker. “Few, if any, other venues offer such an opportunity to connect with peers and clients, while meeting and connecting with many new friends and colleagues.”

“NAHB is the one conference I look forward to attending and speaking at each year,” added another past speaker. “The opportunities to learn from industry leaders across the country are endless, and the NAHB staff makes preparing for your speaking sessions very easy and efficient.”
