The Texas Association of Builders (TAB) hosts its annual HOMEPAC FUNdango on opening night of Sunbelt. TAB members gather to  raise funds for its PAC and to enjoy a few hours of fellowship. FUNdango, along with the Statewide Washers Tournaments, will be held outside at the Gaylord Texan. This event provides good food, drinks and family games for all ages. 

The Builders' Bash was established in 2018 by the Texas Association of Builders Young Professionals Council (YP). The council wanted to host an event that included everyone while raising funds for the Texas Builders Foundation. YP was successful in its mission the past two years by hosting  live onsite concerts. The YP Council has been able to donate more than $50,000 to the Foundation. Sunbelt's social events provides a great opportunity to build relationships and mix and mingle after a full day on the trade show floor. 

In 1992, the Texas Association of Builders launched the Star Awards — the only statewide tribute to excellence in the home building industry. In 2005, this remarkable awards program expanded to include projects throughout the Southwest. The program continues to showcase the outstanding work of builders, remodelers, architects, designers, sales professionals, marketing professionals, construction professionals and industry leaders in Texas and the Southwest! 2020 marks 27th year of recognizing these projects and individuals. The Star Awards are held in conjunction with the Sunbelt Builders Show™.
