A critical conversation about our upcoming KBIS and other expos. By Dianne M. Pogoda

 

The next episode of NKBA Live’s Brave New Business tackles a subject of grave importance to the entire design, building and remodeling industry: The Future of Trade Shows and Events. NKBA CEO Bill Darcy will host Brian Pagel, EVP of NKBA’s longtime partner, Emerald, which produces the association’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show and over 140 others around the country; Bob Priest-Heck, CEO of Freeman, on-site facilitator and event/brand experience expert, and Mark Tester, Executive Director of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, where KBIS is scheduled next Feb. 9-11.

They will share some behind-the-scenes planning, precautions, adjustments and contingencies in play to ensure the health, safety and smooth logistics of the largest expo in North America devoted to residential design and construction.

Brave New Business livestreams on Thursdays at 2 pm (Eastern Time) and features thought leaders across all segments of the business in a free online forum. They’ll share best practices, experiences and advice on topics of critical interest to kitchen and bath design, remodeling, manufacturing and distribution, as well as survival tactics for small businesses and independent operators.
