6 REASONS WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IBS 2026

“Necessity is the mother of invention” is an old saying, but one that holds true and will be on display at IBS in Orlando this February. With the building industry aiming for a rebound, it will be exciting to see what builders and their partners have planned for the new year.

There is no shortage of things to look forward to at IBS, and here are a few of ours:

1 - SEEING YOU IN PERSON AND MAKING NEW CONNECTIONS

Whether you are a current BFS customer or partner – or someone interested in what we do, IBS is a great opportunity to meet with you face-to-face and talk shop. We invite you to visit our booth in the South Hall, where several of our team members will be available to answer any questions you might have.

2 - INNOVATION IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY

It’s always fun to see what different teams are planning for the new year, and the BFS team is especially excited to showcase our new digital solutions designed to help streamline every phase of the build from planning through construction.

Visit our booth for interactive demos with our experts to show you how we will use AI-enabled tools to streamline and elevate your build process.

3 - ENHANCING BUILDING KNOWLEDGE

The booths aren’t the only way to see what’s happening in the industry. IBS is also hosting several educational sessions specifically for home building professionals. There will be daily keynotes from “game changers” in the industry, panel sessions, breakout talks, a new AI & Tech Studio and more. It’s a great opportunity to learn new skills and refresh existing ones.

4 - MEETING MATT RISINGER

There is no building expert better to learn from than Matt Risinger. As host of The Build Show, Matt is well known for spreading the importance of build science in his projects, and Matt will be in-person at the BFS booth on Tuesday, February 17th from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. This is your chance to meet Matt, ask him a question, take a picture or just say hello. He’s only there for an hour, so don’t miss it!

5 - OPPORTUNITIES TO WIN PRIZES – AND SWAG

Shows like IBS are great ways to get new merch from different booths, and you might even get a chance at a bigger prize. You can win a new Milwaukee® Cross Line Laser with 200-ft range from the BFS booth. Talk to the BFS experts at our booth to learn how you can enter to win.

6 - FUN IN ORLANDO

IBS doesn’t have to be all work. It’s Orlando in February, so, hopefully, it will be better weather than what most of the country will be experiencing. It might even be nice enough to enjoy a theme park!

What are you most excited about doing at IBS? The show is coming up soon, and we hope to see you there.
