Operative words
Due to health and safety concerns and ongoing travel restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, NAHB and the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) today regretfully announce that the 8th annual Design & Construction Week featuring NAHB's International Builders' Show (IBS) and NKBA's Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) will no longer be an on-site event. Instead, the two groups are planning a robust, all-virtual event. Design & Construction Week was scheduled to take place on Feb. 9-11, 2021, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.... 'Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of our exhibitors, attendees and the thousands of on-site workers who support the premier event of the residential construction industry, we feel the only prudent course is to make this year's show a virtual event,' said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke.
