SAN ANTONIO, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Build Show LIVE, the South’s premier educational event for builders, contractors, and tradespeople, returns as the Texas construction boom accelerates. The third iteration of Build Show LIVE will take place at San Antonio’s Henry B. González Convention Center September 10-12, featuring the most comprehensive education line-up yet, including over 50 sessions, practical demonstrations, and an exclusive site tour.
In partnership with Matt Risinger, founder of The Build Show, Build Show LIVE was created to bridge the gap between building science theory and real-world job site application, allowing builders to learn directly from Matt and other Build Experts™. Build Show LIVE combines education with live demonstrations and networking specifically tailored to builders focused on quality, performance, and technology.
More than 3,000 construction professionals are expected to join Build Show LIVE, the event transforming home construction, this September.
Building on the New-Home Construction Boom in the South
Four of the top 10 cities leading in new-home construction are in Texas, with Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio all claiming a spot, and seven out of the 10 cities listed located in the South, according to a 2026 Consumer Affairs report. Build Show LIVE emerged through a recognized need in the construction industry for a platform that unites building science principles and practical applications to build high-quality, high-performance homes in a live, interactive format.
“Build Show LIVE is the gathering place for builders serious about quality and performance who want to level up their skills to meet the growing housing demand in the South,” says Sue Pino, show director, Build Show LIVE. “For the third consecutive year, we are expanding our education lineup with additional sessions, hands-on demonstrations, and more opportunities for builders to connect with the experts and products that will help them deliver better homes.”
Top manufacturers in residential tools and solutions are set to showcase the latest innovations in home construction to decision makers seeking advanced technologies and sustainable materials to elevate their craftsmanship. Exhibiting companies signed on for the 2026 event include Huber Engineered Woods, Pella Windows & Doors, Polyguard, Isokern, PROSOCO, Bosch Home Comfort, and HighSpire.
