NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) 2027 falls mostly in the week of Feb 1, 2027, which we rate Packed: about 110,569 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) 2027 and 2 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.
1 show(s) in this window have no published attendance, so the real number is higher.
Overlapping shows

Each Monday-Sunday week gets one score: the pro-rated attendance of every tracked trade show in town that week. The score sets the week label. A show carries the label of the week that holds most of its days (ties go to the busier week), and on a week page every show card carries that week’s label, so a tile and its week never disagree. Method.
