"KBIS is going to be awesome," said Suzie Williford, EVP and
Chief Strategy Officer, National Kitchen & Bath Association
(NKBA), the owners of KBIS, which will take place in Orlando from
February 8-10, 2022 as part of Design & Construction Week
(DCW). After speaking with Williford and her team at length about
what's planned, we tend to agree. Given the challenges of the past
18 months, there is no question that people are ready to re-engage
at face-to-face events.
KBIS is one of the first "design" shows to feature an in-person
event in 2022. High Point Market and Design Chicago both ran
events this past fall, and by the time this appears ICFF and BDNY
will have participated in the NYCXDesign programming in NYC.
Face-to-face fairs and events are slowly coming back, and with
them so is people's pent-up desire to engage with products, brands
and colleagues.
KBIS, and NAHB's International Builder's Show, are gearing up
for an amazing – and well attended – DCW show at the Orange
County Convention Center(OCCC).
