Memories of KBIS
September 25, 2023
Past attendees of KBIS remember the vibrant energy of the trade show, K&B products they saw, industry connections they made and more.

NKBA’s KBIS, the largest kitchen and bath event in North America, is a hub of innovation, education and connection. In addition to providing a vast showcase of K&B products, services and more, the trade show also includes informative panels with industry experts, exciting events and awards shows and opportunities to network and have some fun. KBIS has so much to offer that attendees have raved about it — and here’s what some of them had to say.
“As a kitchen designer, it’s critical to attend KBIS if you want to stay on top of new introductions in appliances, fixtures, hardware, stone materials and more!” — Sarah Robertson, AKBD, Founder and Principal, Studio Dearborn
