Find design peers and experts at the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) Design Central. While many different types of professionals gather for the show, it’s also nice to mix, mingle, share ideas, be inspired and learn from your peers. That’s what Design Central does for this niche.
What is Design Central?
Design Central is a lounge-like room in the convention center during the Builders’ Show. Design professionals explore fun, new ideas, refine skills and gain business information about this housing niche.
What to Expect
Design Central at the Builders’ Show has a room in the convention center tucked into the hall where IBS Education Sessions are (West Hall). In addition to a lounge-type area where you can rest and relax off the show floor, it’s an environment for sparking conversations with fellow professionals.
Each Central also has scheduled educational programs that are more informal than traditional IBS Education Sessions, but are just as engaging. They feature some of the best and most passionate industry professionals about their expertise — so the discussions are always lively.
