Tech Bytes: A Hands-On Experience

Tech Bytes

Our Tech Bytes program offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to immerse yourself in the latest products, applications and tech platforms through hands-on presentations and consultations.

The Tech Bytes Room: When you walk into the room, you’ll find two distinct areas for learning—a large, main presentation stage and a tech bar. Education sessions will take place on the stage, while the tech bar is your place to go for one-on-one interaction including “office hours” with speakers, wearables and cool gadgets, a social media hub and more.

On the Education Stage: 

Less Theory. More Involvement.

In the 24 Tech Bytes sessions offered at IBS 2019, you’ll learn the practical side of various tech tools being used in the building industry today. Some of this year’s topics include:

  • Vlogging: A Hot Trend to Connect with Buyers

Each 30-minute session is presented as an interactive, hands-on and how-to demonstration.

In the Tech Bar:

Speaker Office Hours:

Following each Tech Bytes session, our speakers are available for “office hours” to work directly with interested attendees. Multiple small group work areas in the tech bar allow for extended Q&As and demos so you can get additional guidance to put what you learned into practice.
