Record turnout at Design & Construction Week

The 10th annual Design & Construction Week, held Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, drew over 200,000 housing and design professionals, according to an event producer.

“What an incredible way to celebrate 10 years of Design & Construction Week with this record attendance,” Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, said in a statement. “Walking the show floor and attending the education sessions and networking events, you could feel the energy and enthusiasm from exhibitors and attendees alike. We knew this would be the event of the year for the housing industry, but this has even surpassed our expectations.”

This year’s Design & Construction Week featured five trade shows, including the International Builders’ Show (IBS), Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), National Hardware Show (NHS), International Surfaces Event (TISE), and Las Vegas Winter Market. In total, there were approximately 1,800 exhibitors spread over 1 million sq. ft. of exhibit space.

Approximately 70,000 attended IBS, while KBIS had about 40,000 visitors. The Las Vegas Market was second with about 50,000 attendees.

Next year’s Design and Construction Week is scheduled for Feb. 27-29 in Las Vegas.
