The number of exhibitors on hand at IBS 2024 was up 30% from the prior year, according to the NAHB.
Setting up shop, pitching your latest products, and wishing for the best was far from enough to get the job done at the 2024 version of the International Builders' Show (IBS).
Exhibitors had to prepare an over-arching product theme, covering multiple angles in regard to residential construction needs. Having solid sustainability and builder efficiency stories in your portfolio to share was also a near must at IBS. The world is changing, and so are construction end-users.
And standing out at IBS 2024 wasn't an easy trick either.
The event featured 1,800 exhibitors, up 30% from the prior year. And it was the largest IBS in the last 15 years. As part of Design & Construction Week (DCW), featuring the co-location of IBS and the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the mega-event was attended by more than 117,000 builders, general contractors, remodelers, designers, flooring professionals, sales professionals, architects, dealers, distributors, and industry professionals.
