Registration for the 2027 NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) opens September 1, and now is the time to start planning your Builders’ Show experience.
While your IBS registration gets you access to the industry’s biggest annual event, some of the most popular networking events and celebrations require separate tickets. Many of these events sell out well before the show, so the best time to secure your ticket is when you register.
From unforgettable parties and exclusive networking opportunities to prestigious industry awards and live entertainment, here are five special events you’ll want to add to your registration.
#1 IBS House Party

It’s the perfect place to reconnect with colleagues, meet new industry professionals and start your Builders’ Show week in style.
Don’t wait. The IBS House Party sells out every year.
