Join us for our annual pizza party – a great opportunity to network with fellow AIBD members in a relaxed setting! This is one of the best parts of attending the International Builder Show (IMHO).
The venue is within walking distance of the convention centers. We'll provide soft drinks, but alcoholic beverages are on your own. While you're at the show, be sure to stop by our booth – Booth W24 – conveniently located in the hallway near the entrance. You'll find me (Garrett), maybe Steve (if he's not out and about), and usually some fellow AIBD members and CPBDs. We've got a couple of chairs and a charging port for your laptop, phone, etc. It's a great place to relax and connect. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando! See you there, P.S. Don't miss The New American Remodel 2026! This stunning "soft" remodel project was designed by Phil Kean of Phil Kean Design Group, a long time AIBD member. The project focuses on updating and revitalizing a home with minimal structural changes while enhancing its exterior look and aging-in-place features. All registered IBS/KBIS attendees can tour the home via complimentary shuttle buses from the Orange County Convention Center. Learn more at tnarh.com​ |

You may have never sat in a Florida Building Commission hearing or testified before the International Code Council. Most designers haven’t. But that work is happening on your behalf right now — whether or not you’re a dues-paying member. We got code language changed — twice, after being told no. AIBD proposed modifications to the Florida Building Code clarifying definitions designers rely on. The Florida Building Commission rejected most of it on the first pass. We revised the proposal, went...
AIBD was built by designers who chose to work together to strengthen the residential design profession. As we enter a new chapter, we are looking for volunteers to help shape what comes next. Beginning September 2, AIBD will welcome a new Board of Directors. In November, a new Council will also begin its term. These transitions create an important opportunity for members and industry supporters to step forward, share their expertise, and contribute to the work of the Institute. Whether your...
