By Karen L. Edwards, RCS Editor.

IBS 2020 is taking place January 21-23, 2020 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

With 600,000 net square feet and more than 1,400 manufacturers and suppliers from around the world, there is something for everyone at this year’s International Builders’ Show (IBS).

RoofersCoffeeShop encourages our roofing contractors to attend this amazing building show that highlights the newest trends and best practices in construction hosted by the National Association of Home Builders.  It is a great chance to visit many of our advertising partners who will be exhibiting and sharing exciting 2020 announcements for new products and initiatives.  TAMKO, Sherwin Williams, Tremco and more will all be looking forward to seeing you at their booths.  Along with the expo floor be sure to check out these exciting IBS activities.

Tour official show homes

Attendees can visit the two official show homes, located in nearby Henderson, Nevada. The New American Home incorporates a contemporary modern design with minimal décor accentuated by abundant light and striking roof lines. According to the website, the 7,683 square foot home features “four bedrooms, five baths with a one half-bath, two showroom garages, a luxurious great room, elegant wine room, multiple water features surrounding the courtyard, beautiful fire features and an outdoor heated entertainment area.”

The second home is The New American Home Remodel which was redesigned to showcase the significant role that remodeling plays in the housing industry. The original 2,170 square foot home was built in 1977 with three bedrooms and two baths. The remodel transformed the home into a two-story masterpiece of “five bedrooms, four bathrooms, showroom three-car garage, indoor-outdoor living features in the courtyard, ultra-energy efficiency, net-zero features, spa, pool, fire features, an elegant wine room, five radiant fireplaces and a rooftop terrace with a great view of the Las Vegas Strip.”

Educational opportunities

IBS 2020 features seven educational tracks with classes taught by renowned building experts from across the country. Classes range from sales and marketing to the latest in codes and construction. Preshow sessions allow attendees to earn NAHB continuing education units while learning about the latest trends, tools and techniques.

Networking with peers

IBS provides attendees with multiple networking opportunities through their Official IBS House Party, the Young Pro Party and the IBS Closing Spike Concert. Additional networking happens inside the IBS Centrals, niche-specific areas where you can explore new ideas, attend workshops and mingle with your peers.
