Education & Events
You can find everything IBS-related by using the IBS App:
schedule of events, education sessions and NAHB committee meetings. You’ll
quickly and easily be able to view information like location, description and speakers.
Education sessions are sub-divided by major track, date, type, professional
specialty and interest.

Search &
Select Exhibits
You can also search IBS exhibitors in several ways: featured
exhibitors, browse by category, CEDIA® Smart Home Pavilion, nextBUILD, outdoor
exhibits, Best of IBS Awards—or you can view by Show Special or by Celebrity. 

By clicking on the exhibitor listing, you’ll find contact
information, booth number, social media connections and any material the
exhibitor has provided, such as brochures. 

User Tips:

• Tap the star to add a session, event or an
  exhibitor to your Favorites, which is then becomes a part of your agenda.
• For education sessions that occur at the same
  time, many IBS attendees will “favorite” a few items and then check out both
  options before making a decision about which to attend.
• When you select an individual session, you can
  make notes right there, which is great for short items, reminders and names of
  people or products you want to look up later on. You can then save the notes
  and/or email them to yourself when you’re done. You can even email and share
  the notes individually by session or all that you’ve taken by clicking on the
  “Share” icon.
• Any time you have a question, simply pull out
  your mobile device and search, rather than thumbing through the paper guides.
  There’s information on: show hours, The New American Home 2017®, Design &
  Construction Week®, IBS Centrals, transportation and much more. You can also receive real-time alerts
  about big happenings such as giveaways. Make sure to
  set your notification preferences so you don’t miss out! 
• Need help finding your way around the floor? Use
  the map feature within the app. Zoom in to read the names of exhibitors and
  booth numbers—they’ll come up depending on the size of the space and the length
  of the name. The best way to view the map is to turn it to landscape view, and
  use gestures to zoom in and out.
