AIA Continuing Education Credit

The below information is related to IBS 2025. Please check back this fall/winter for information on the 2026 show.

THE ADDED VALUE OF IBS EDUCATION

To assist members and attendees in reaching their annual continuing education requirements, many IBS education sessions provide continuing education credit towards NAHB, NKBA and AIA professional designations. There are also opportunities to earn NAHB CE credit in many of the education programs taking place in the IBS Centrals and the IBS demo areas. Please reference the “Continuing Education” section of individual session and program listings on buildersshow.com to determine the CE available.

Please note, we do not have formal agreements to provide CE for individual state contractor licenses or for any other organizations beyond NAHB, NKBA and AIA; however, some will accept IBS education without pre-approval. Please check with your licensing/crediting body for more information about what, if any, programs from IBS may quality.

Reporting Your Credits: For those seeking AIA credit, 29 education sessions and 2 NAHB pre-show courses have been approved. We’ll report all CE earned to AIA's CES Records on your behalf—simply complete this AIA Session Participation Form and return it to us per the instructions on page 2. NAHB and NKBA credit are self-reported, so those should be tracked on your own.
