PCBC was founded in 1959, beginning as a small educational conference at San Francisco's Sheraton Palace Hotel. Over the decades it evolved into a premier gathering and staple of the homebuilding industry, growing into a powerful annual business exchange of thousands of building industry professionals. PCBC celebrated its 65th anniversary in 2024 (held that year at the Anaheim Convention Center) and continues as the official show of the Leading Builders of America. The 2026 edition marks a move to the newly opened Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in Chula Vista, San Diego.
Detailed exhibitor list is being compiled. Check back soon or visit the official show website for the most current information.
