The inaugural IBSx event welcomed home building professionals, February 9-12, online for top-notched education and networking. More than 6,200 attendees joined us live for 100+ education sessions, 28 construction demos and 36 shop talks… not to mention the 6,000+ views of education on-demand!

If you weren’t able to take advantage of this incredible opportunity, here’s what you missed:

• Game Changer keynotes featured three thought-leaders who are transforming their companies and the way we think about and address issues critical to the housing industry.
• Attendees picked up expert tips, learned best practices and explored solutions from real building projects nationwide through demos in the High Performance Building Zone and the new Home Tech Zone.
