NAHB Offers Unprecidented Deals to HBA Members Who Attend 2010 Builders Show

Don't miss the 2010 NAHB International Builders' Show! NAHB Members now have 3 cost-saving ways to register for the 2010 International Builders' show. See how you can take advantage of these special member offers by watching this video!


Online Registration & Housing will open on Monday, August 3rd. And, for the first time ever, NAHB Members can attend the exhibits at NO COST! That means that for four days, you can walk the massive show floor, packed with all of the latest and greatest products for FREE. You just need to register by December 11, 2009 to take advantage of this great offer. This is a $200 value and will put you face to face with the hottest suppliers in the industry! To make this even better, your spouse can tag along for free!

If you are a new member of NAHB or have NEVER attended IBS before as a member, you are eligible for the Member First-Time Attendee Offer. You will receive the same benefits as a Full Registration Attendee, including admittance to the 175+ education sessions and access to the largest building industry tradeshow in the country for only $100.

Lastly, you will not want to miss out on outstanding hotel deals that NAHB has secured. During the month of August, most of the Las Vegas hotels will be offering our attendees rooms for under $200 a night! These great rates will be available online when registration and housing open on August 3, but the rates are only guaranteed for the month of August, so you definitely want to take advantage of them as quickly as possible. Because availability will be limited, you'll want to secure your hotel early, but don't worry, the room deposit will not be charged until December.

Remember, you must book early to get the best rates! See you in Las Vegas!
