The dust has settled and the totals are in for the 2014 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), which took place in February in Las Vegas. According to a release from the organizers, 31,092 industry professionals were in attendance – nearly a 145 percent increase over the 2013 show in New Orleans. This year KBIS collocated for the first time under the umbrella of Design & Construction Week with the International Builders’ Show (IBS), owned by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and VISION 2014, the International Window Coverings Expo (IWCE). KBIS, which is owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), also attracted 500 exhibitors. The show has reportedly already booked more exhibit space for KBIS 2015 than was sold in all of 2014. To accommodate the increasing demand, another 500,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space has been added for the 2015 event. KBIS will now encompass the North and South Halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
KBIS 2015 will take place January 20-22, 2015, in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, collocating again with the International Builders’ Show (IBS) and VISION 2015 (IWCE) under the banner of Design & Construction Week. Additionally, StonExpo will be going on at the same time (January 20-23) at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
