perfect place to share your knowledge and expertise on topics ranging from
remodeling and design, high performance building and more. Speaking opportunities are highly competitive, NAHB only accepts
about a ¼ of the nearly 400 speaker proposals
submitted each year.
Over the last few years, attendees have given
IBS education strong reviews, but they continue to seek new and advanced material.
So we’re looking for education session ideas that are original and full of
innovative, cutting-edge content geared primarily to an audience with 10+ years
in the building industry.

proposal to present an education session at IBS 2018, January 9-11 in
Orlando.
What we’re looking for:
Content is king! IBS attendees

innovative and cutting-edge content to the table!
