International Code Council Annual Conference and Expo 2026

It took place October 18–21, 2026.

It was held at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Building safety professionals, including code officials, inspectors, and industry professionals, attend.

It is most useful for code officials, inspectors and industry members who want to earn education and build a network within the building safety community, since the audience is drawn from that profession and the event is run by the International Code Council itself. The keynote by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino and the Scotty McCreery performance were billed as leaning toward celebration and morale, so someone looking only for deep technical code sessions or a product-heavy exhibit floor may have gotten less from the trip to Nashville.

Attendees at building safety and code official conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts, with a jacket for formal sessions and comfortable shoes for a large resort and convention complex.
