Let's play booth or dare! Don't miss out on the education, connection, and insight opportunities we're hosting for builders at IBS-KBIS in Las Vegas, starting Monday.

For those of you headed to the 2020 NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Jan. 21–23, remember that number C2138. IBS is part of Design & Construction Week, which is co-located with the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS).

C2138 is where you'll find BUILDER booth, and you'll want to find it. BUILDER, which you may know is a Hanley Wood unit, along with our siblings Metrostudy and Meyers Research, has the honor this year of sharing our space with Japan-based developer and builder Sekisui House, Ltd. Sekisui House and its U.S.-based Woodside Homes are our partners on the BUILDER Concept Chōwa project and you can learn all about this game-changing project at, don't forget, C2138.

You should clock it in to your check-list of essential destinations at IBS. Stop by, whether it's just to take a load off for a few moments as you troll the vast exhibit space, or you want to get a move on to action--through connections, through education and insight, through data, and through planning that can and will impact your in-year business and your longer term business model.

Thanks to the unique and exclusive alignment of industry leaders and internal partners, we've cooked up a live "BUILDER to Builder" program of high-level, topical, and timely sessions--drawing on subject-matter expertise and insight you'll need to make smart moves and decisions through the delicate balance of favorable and adverse market trends we're seeing as 2020 gets underway.
