South Florida Build Expo runs September 30–October 1, 2026, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center, Hall A. If you want a hotel near the Build Expo that still puts you on Fort Lauderdale Beach, Cambria Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach is 4.2 miles from the venue — about 10 minutes by car or rideshare.
This is a two-day regional construction show, not a weekend consumer home show. Exhibit hours are compact. Classes start before the floor opens.
