In mid-January, individual registration for all the show’s special events will open. Attendees can then create a custom schedule for the events and programs they plan to attend.”

To assist in the registration process, instructional materials and videos will be available on kbis.com in early January.

KBIS Virtual remains a co-located event with the International Builders’ Show (IBS) as part of Design & Construction Week bringing the design and construction industry together into one comprehensive virtual experience. KBIS attendees will have access to all IBS exhibitors through the KBIS Virtual platform as part of their KBIS registration.
