A Fun Farewell to Orlando
Pack your bags (and your mouse ears)! IBS 2026 marks the final year that Orlando will be our host before the Builders’ Show moves permanently to Las Vegas. That means this is your last chance to mix business with sunshine, thrill rides and world-class dining—and maybe bring the family along for an unforgettable trip.
World-Class Theme Parks Just Minutes Away
From Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort to SeaWorld Orlando and much more, Orlando promises to deliver life-long memories of fun. Here, you’re never far from world-famous attractions, epic new rides and nonstop entertainment.
