IBS Exhibits, Segments, and Zones—Something for Everyone and Every Business
This article first appeared in the NAHB International Builders' Show 2025 Preshow Planner issue.
The International Builders' Show is the place for the latest, most exciting products and services for the residential construction industry and you as an industry professional.
This year’s Show—spanning 700,000+ square feet at the Las Vegas Convention Center—features more than 1,700 exhibitors from all over the world. See innovative new products and services before anyone else and engage with exhibitors to get your questions answered on site.
At the IBS Outdoor Exhibits you can tour demonstration homes, experience live programming and see dynamic new products, all while enjoying the fresh air. And be sure to visit Pro Builder Show Village.
In 2024, IBS introduced a new segmented layout to the exhibition halls, with exhibitors grouped together by product and service categories. The segments were a hit, so they’ll return for the 2025 Show. Below are the product and service segments you’ll find in each hall, as well as the special zones where you can see live demonstrations and pick up detailed how-to information.
You can find more information, and a detailed list of the product and service categories within each segment, at BuildersShow.com/ibs-product-segmentation.
In addition to tens of thousands of exciting products, the IBS exhibit floor will be absolutely packed with must-see events and demonstrations throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center.
