The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) has opened registration for the 2023 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). The annual event, owned by the NKBA and produced by Emerald Expositions, is the largest North American trade expo and networking opportunity for kitchen and bath industry professionals.
“KBIS 2022 staged one of the largest shows, globally to serve the industry in the last 2 years. We are very much looking forward to building off the success from last year’s show,” said Suzie Williford, NKBA EVP & CSO. “The 2023 show is shaping up to continue this momentum and be even bigger. KBIS is not only a place for old friends and colleagues to have the chance to catch up but also a chance for new brands to come to the forefront and grow in the North American market.”

Design & Construction Week® (DCW), not only kicks off its 10th Anniversary co-locating with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show (IBS) and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) – but further welcome the National Hardware Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) in Las Vegas, NV.
