As one attendee of past BIS events attested, “There is no trade show like BIS. The builders come to the exhibitor floor and stay due to all the important industry strategic meetings, networking programs and entertainment throughout the day and night.”
“BIS 2026 was designed with a simple goal: create an event where meaningful business relationships happen naturally – all in a fun, festive environment,” said Jeff Montejano, BIASC Chief Executive Officer. “Rather than relying on the traditional trade show format, we’ve built an experience that is engaging, interactive and centered on bringing people together. From the exhibit hall to every networking opportunity throughout the event, every element is intentionally designed to encourage conversations, strengthen partnerships and deliver lasting value for our members and exhibitors.”
