Headquartered in Washington, DC, the association organizes one of the largest conventions in North America, the International Builders Show. Is a home builders' association that specializes in building homes for people.
Founded in 1942, NAHB is a federation of more than 800 state and local associations. About one-third of NAHB’s 220,000 members are home builders and/or remodelers. The remaining members are associates working in closely related fields within the housing industry, such as mortgage finance and building products and services. NAHB analyzes policy issues, takes the industry's story to the public, monitors and works toward improving the housing finance system, and analyzes and forecasts economic trends.
The 2007 International Builders Show was recently held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL from February 7-10, 2007 and recorded a high attendance of over 100,000 attendees making it one of the largest and most successful conventions in the industry.
