A big event for builders
Builders and designers take note! The International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2024 is set for 27-29 February next year at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This epic show will offer the latest in building materials and products for every part of a house, education sessions and valuable networking opportunities with manufacturers and suppliers.
Each year, the three-day event also features a housing tour of ‘The New American Home’, the official show home of IBS, currently under construction in the hills overlooking the city. For those interested in an immersive design and building experience, this is one not to miss.
As a home builder, kitchen or bathroom specialist you can learn what the future trends and products are to help your business get ahead of the curve back in Australia. Registrations open 1 September 2023. HIA will provide details soon about international registration options.
