In the middle of the hustle and bustle will be NAHB HQ, located on the first floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center’s Central Hall.
At HQ, there is something for everyone. All registrants can participate in enrichment sessions, learn about NAHB membership and network with attendees. For NAHB members, there will be an exclusive member-only area with giveaways, snacks, charging areas and more.
