We wanted to make sure you have all the important details for this year's event. Plus: read the whole email to find out how you can get a free year of AIBD Membership. FREE EXPO PASSES AVAILABLEWe have complimentary expo passes available for AIBD Newsletter Subscribers (that's you, reading this right now)! You can claim yours here: AIBD.org/IBS2026 VISIT US AT BOOTH W24AIBD will be exhibiting at Booth W24, conveniently located in the hallway near the entrance. Stop by to connect with me, maybe Steve (if he's not out and about), and usually some fellow members and CPBDs. I'll have a couple chairs and a charging port for your laptop, phone, etc. If you're not super familiar with us, you can also learn about AIBD initiatives, and get the latest industry updates. THE NEW AMERICAN REMODEL 2026Don't miss this year's showcase home – The New American Remodel 2026! This stunning "soft" remodel project was designed by Phil Kean of Phil Kean Design Group, 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 AIBD ANNUAL PIZZA PARTYJoin us for our annual pizza party – a great opportunity to network with fellow members in a relaxed setting! When: Tuesday, February 17, 2026 – 5:00 PM until 8:30 PM (or so) The venue is within walking distance of the convention centers. Please note: We will provide soft drinks, but alcoholic beverages are on your own. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando! See you there, P.S. if you do come to visit me at Booth W24, I appreciate snacks and drinks...and bathroom breaks. Seriously though, what's most helpful is AIBD Members and CPBDs talking to people who visit the booth. I'm just a "booth babe"; what really sells AIBD and Certification is when people talk directly to our Members and CPBDs. That's when we see new Associate Members, new Corporate Members, and new Professional Members. Plus, you can get a free year of AIBD Membership if you convince enough of them to put your name as a referral when they sign up! Get your free expo pass here: AIBD.org/IBS2026. |
