Impact
IBS 2027 anchors the residential construction calendar in Las Vegas, where the co-located IBS and KBIS floors give buyers a single trip across structure, finishes, kitchen and bath. The move to a permanent Las Vegas home lowers venue uncertainty for exhibitors planning multi-year stands.
Audience quality
The audience is trade-only: custom and production builders, remodelers, design-build firms, architects, dealers and distributors. Organisers expect 120,000+ attendees across Design & Construction Week, with buyers who specify and purchase building products rather than general consumers.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on booth format: large structural and outdoor displays suit the convention center's high ceilings and outdoor exhibits, while software and services fit smaller stands. The 120,000+ expected cross-show audience and 120+ sessions create repeated touchpoints, but exhibitors should book housing and freight early.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Residential construction is a large, cyclical North American market, and IBS is its main annual sourcing and education event. A permanent Las Vegas home from 2027 gives manufacturers and buyers a predictable calendar and a venue that can host large product displays alongside KBIS.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Construction technology and AI adoption
Builders are testing AI-assisted estimating, online sales and project management to protect margins as labour and financing costs stay high.
What it changes: Software and services exhibitors can demonstrate measurable time savings to a buyer group under pressure to build more efficiently.
Resilient and high-performance building envelopes
Demand is growing for energy-efficient windows, insulation, roofing and moisture-management systems that meet tighter codes and insurance expectations.
What it changes: Materials suppliers can position products around durability, insurability and total cost of ownership rather than price alone.
Kitchen, bath and outdoor living convergence
The co-located KBIS floor and IBS outdoor exhibits reflect buyers sourcing full-room packages, including fixtures, finishes and outdoor kitchens.
What it changes: Brands that span interior and exterior living spaces can capture more of a project budget from the same builder or remodeler.
IBS sits inside Design & Construction Week with KBIS, and buyers often add a January concrete show or a regional builders conference to the same Las Vegas trip.
