Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) 3150 Paradise Drive Las Vegas, NV 89103

Tuesday February 25, 2025 / 8:00am

The International Builders Show is the worlds largest annual residential/light commercial construction trade show. The 2024 show was the largest in 15 years. 1800+ vendors participated and over 115,000 buyers, influencers and industry insiders, visited the show during 3 days. 

IBS is the premier North American exhibit venue in which Canadian firms showcase their building material products and technologies.

Canada is the No. 1 foreign supplier to the U.S. building materials market, and the U.S. is Canadas biggest customer.

Exhibit with the Official Canadian Pavilion to ensure your company attracts maximum attention and interest from builders and influencers attending the IBS 2025 in Las Vegas.

Benefits of participating in the Official Canadian Pavilion include:

  • Guaranteed Prime Locations- Central-West-South Halls
