NAHB/IBS Mobile App - Download Now

The IBS 2026 Mobile App is now available

Download it for free! The IBS 2026 app is your guide to everything at the Builders’ Show as well as the NAHB Board Meeting.

How to Download the App:

To find the 2026 NAHB International Builders’ Show app, you can click on the buttons above from your device or search “IBS 2026” in your device’s app store. The app is available for download on all android and iOS tablets and smartphones.

Upon download completion, you should see the IBS 2026 app icon.

NOTE for iOS users: If you have previously downloaded the IBS 2025 app, the IBS 2026 App will appear as an update. iOS 17.0 or later is required to download the app.

NOTE for Android users: The app will not update in place, so if you have previously downloaded the IBS 2025 app, you will need to download the new 2026 version. Android 12 and up is required to download the app.

If the app icon looks different than what is shown above, then you have downloaded the wrong app. Please proceed back to the app store and re-enter “IBS 2026” in the app store search bar.

To log in to the app*, choose “My Profile” from the main navigation. You will be prompted to log in to the app.

APP LOGIN NOTE:

You do not have to log in to use the features in the app. Logging in is only required to connect with other attendees and to play the app game.

Your username is your registration confirmation ID. Your password is your last name. The passwords are case sensitive, and need to match the registration confirmation email EXACTLY, so if any letters in your last name are capitalized in your registration confirmation, then make sure you enter them the same way when logging in. See "How to Find Your Registration ID" for more information.

ATTENTION ANDROID USERS:

Your device must have a data plan to use the security and emergency alerts text feature in the Safety & Security section of the app. Requires Android 12 and up.
