The biggest challenge you face when attending the Builders' Show is how to see and do everything that's jammed into a three-day show. We'll let you in on a little secret: It’s impossible.

That's why Education On Demand is such a valuable tool. It's the full library of recorded sessions from the Builders’ Show and as an Education+Expo Pass registrant, it's the tool you can rely on to give you the information you missed or want to revisit after the Builders’ Show ends.

"I sat at every session with a notebook, said, 'Oh this is a great idea,' and ended up with 14 pages. What I took from the show we started immediately applying to the business and we're still trying to distill it down and implement all of it in our strategy."

Andrew Brindley, H-E Homes

"The IBS experience allows you to see everything and focus while you're there. Seeing the trends at the show gave me the confidence to say, 'Okay, that is a good direction to go in.' You get an overview of the entire industry and tactics that you can implement right away."
