ABOUT THE CONVENTION

Where the Profession Comes to Compare Notes

Every March, IIBEC members trade their home skylines for one city’s worth of roofs, walls, and waterproofing details. In 2027, that city is San Antonio — missions, limestone, and a River Walk that’s kept its enclosure details working since the 1700s.

Technical Sessions

Experience four days of comprehensive instruction, on roofing, waterproofing, and wall systems, taught by the consultants writing the specs.

Trade Show Floor

150+ exhibitors with product in hand — membranes, flashings, fasteners, and the reps who know their failure modes.

Site Tours

Guided enclosure walks through San Antonio’s mission architecture and downtown high-rise stock.

Committee Meetings

Standards, certification, and chapter business — the meetings that shape next year’s spec language.
