Walking into the International Builders' Show is like walking into the Disneyland of home building. This global event, bringing in top suppliers and distributors that feature the latest industry technology, hosts 550,000 square feet of exhibits. Where to begin? As you start planning, check out these upcoming booths featured at IBS Orlando in less than one week:
1) Panasonic's Next Generation Smart Home System
Booth W3016 will transport you to the future with its leading smart home technology. A unique security system and "fully-customizable" features make the Panasonic exhibit a 'must' for your IBS experience.
2) True Refrigeration
Hosting the next big gathering has never been so easy -- or fun! At booth W871, True Refrigeration will be showcasing its latest: a compact Butler Bar that encompasses a full pantry, 'cocktail suite', beverage dispenser, ice machine, wine storage and fridge all in one. (Oh, and it's under five-feet tall.)
3) LP Building Products
A seasoned IBS attraction, LP Building Products continues to bring innovative features to the show. This year's newbies include the LP® ArmorStrand™ and FlameBlock® I-Joists, both of which are game-changers for new home construction. Want to learn more? Visit booth W2900.
4) BDX
