Show to be held in Las Vegas during January
RISMEDIA, Nov. 17-Imagine hosting all 28 of this season?s college Bowl Games at once – with enough room left over to accommodate three-quarters of the professional football games played on any given Sunday. With a record-breaking 1.5 million square feet of gross exhibit space already sold for the 2004 International Builders? Show — surpassing last year?s record total of 1.2 million square feet — the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) could accomplish just such a feat in Las Vegas.

During this year?s International Builders? Show, held January 19-22, 2004, an unprecedented 1,400+ exhibitors will occupy the equivalent of 40 football fields at the residential construction industry?s foremost annual event. The net square footage of exhibits (not including hallways and other unsold space) at what is historically one of the world?s largest trade shows is expected to top 800,000 square feet, up more than 12 percent from last year?s net area of 713,000 square feet.

To meet the soaring demand, NAHB has opened an additional 50,000 net square feet of space in the Convention Center?s South Exhibit Hall to accommodate exhibitors who were previously waitlisted.

The 2004 International Builders? Show, which is not open to the general public, is expected to attract more than 90,000 attendees from 100 countries. It includes the industry?s largest new product showcase, with suppliers spanning more than 200 categories that encompass all aspects of the residential building industry.
