Builders, remodelers, designers, dealers, and suppliers will meet for three busy days of products, learning, and networking. Organizers expect more than 120,000 attendees and over 2,350 exhibiting brands. This guide covers the dates, registration steps, exhibitors, events, and visitor tips. Use it to plan your trip and make the most of your time.
Show Overview and Key Dates
The show runs for three days, from Tuesday, February 2, to Thursday, February 4, 2027. It takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is now the permanent home of the event. Repeat visitors will therefore know the layout well.
Additionally, the show joins forces with the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. Together, the two events form Design and Construction Week, now in its 14th year. One badge opens both show floors. As a result, you can see building products and kitchen and bath trends in a single trip.

Why This Show Matters to Home Building Professionals
Home building changes fast. New materials, tools, and codes arrive every year. Few places let you see so many of them in one week. The show gathers the whole housing supply chain under one roof, so you can compare options side by side.
Here are the main reasons professionals attend:
- See new products and technology before you buy.
- Learn from more than 120 education sessions.
- Meet suppliers and manufacturers face to face.
- Build contacts with builders and remodelers from across the country.
- Tour real show homes and study their products.
Moreover, the scale of the event saves time. Instead of ten separate sales calls, you can walk the floor and talk to many brands in a day.
Who Should Attend
The show suits many roles in housing. Each group finds something different on the floor.
- Home builders and remodelers: find materials, tools, and methods that cut costs and speed up work.
- Architects and designers: study new finishes, layouts, and design trends.
- Dealers and distributors: meet manufacturers and add new lines to your catalog.
- Developers and multifamily teams: explore products built for larger projects.
- Sales and marketing staff: learn how top firms win and keep customers.
- Start-ups and investors: spot new ideas early in the Start-Up Zone.
Additionally, owners who send several team members get more value. Each person can cover a different part of the show and report back.

Special Zones
Several zones help you find fresh ideas fast:

- IBS Start-Up Zone: features young companies with new approaches.
- Construction Performance Zone: focuses on building science and better homes.

Niche Centrals
The show also groups content into niche areas. These cover custom building, design, multifamily, remodeling, international, and sales. Each area suits a different type of business, so pick the ones that match your goals.
How to Become an Exhibitor
Companies that want a booth apply through the exhibit application page on the show website. Space is popular, so plan early. Meanwhile, the general contact page connects you with the show team for questions about booth size, location, and costs.
How to Plan Your Floor Time
- Download the exhibitor list before you arrive.
- Mark your top ten must-see booths.
- Visit the special zones on your first morning.
- Book meetings with key suppliers in advance.
- Leave time to explore without a plan.
Education Program
Learning sits at the heart of the show. More than 120 sessions run across nine tracks. They serve builders, remodelers, designers, and other housing professionals at every experience level.
The Expo + Education Pass covers all sessions during the three show days. Pre-show learning on January 31 and February 1 goes deeper into select topics. However, it costs an additional fee, so add it only if the topics fit your needs.
Sessions often cover business management, design trends, construction methods, marketing, and sales. Therefore, bring your team and split up. Each person can attend different sessions and share notes afterward.
Events and Networking
The show offers more than products. Business deals often start at social events. Kevin O’Leary, the businessman and television personality, delivers the keynote at the Design and Construction Week Opening Ceremonies. That event takes place on the morning of February 2 and welcomes all registrants.
The table below lists the main events.
| Event | When | Access |
| Pre-show learning | January 31 to February 1 | Extra fee |
| Opening Ceremonies | Morning of February 2 | All registrants |
| IBS House Party | Evening of February 2 | Ticketed |
| Young Pro Party | Wednesday night, February 3 | Ticketed |

Tickets for the parties and concert sell separately. Therefore, buy them early if you want to attend.
Show Homes: The New American Home and Remodel
Two official show homes give visitors a close look at modern building. The New American Home and The New American Remodel open for tours during the show. Members of the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council supply many of the products inside. Professional Builder serves as the media sponsor.
Walking through a finished house shows you how products work together. In addition, you can talk with the teams behind the projects and gather ideas for your own jobs.
Visitor Information
Getting to Las Vegas
Most visitors fly into Harry Reid International Airport. From there, taxis and rideshares reach the convention center quickly. Local shuttles may also run during the show. Check the official website for transport details closer to the date.
Hotels and Housing
Housing opened on September 1, 2026. Use the official housing page linked from the show website. Hotel rooms near the venue fill fast during big conventions. Therefore, book early and compare rates. Also check cancellation terms in case your plans change.
Show Hours
The sources used for this guide do not list daily hours yet. Organizers post hours on the Design and Construction Week page. Check it before you travel, and plan your first day around the opening time.
What to Pack and Prepare
- Comfortable shoes, because you will walk many miles.
- A light jacket for cool convention halls.
- Business cards or a digital contact tool.
- A phone charger or power bank.
- A small bag for brochures and samples.
A Simple Three-Day Plan
- Day one: attend the Opening Ceremonies, then walk the special zones.
- Day two: focus on education sessions and scheduled supplier meetings.
- Day three: tour the show homes, revisit top booths, and enjoy the closing concert.
Of course, adjust this plan to your own goals. A remodeler and a multifamily developer will want different routes.
Making the Most of Your Budget
A trip to Las Vegas adds up fast. However, smart planning keeps costs under control. Start with the pass that fits your goals. If you only need to see products, the Expo Pass may be enough. If you want training, choose the Expo + Education Pass. Next, book your hotel and flights early. Prices climb as the show gets closer. Finally, set a simple goal for the trip, such as finding two new suppliers. A clear goal keeps your days focused and makes it easier to measure the return.
