This week I welcome two guest experts on the podcast from the design industry who share some trends from this year’s Kitchen and Bath Industry Show.
KBIS wrapped up its first in-person show in two years last week. It’s the largest North American trade show for the kitchen and bath industry that showcases the latest industry products, trends, and technologies from hundreds of exhibitors.
This year’s show featured 375 exhibitors, and the ratio of attendees to exhibitors was up 9% over 2020, the last and one of the strongest in-person KBIS events pre-pandemic, according to a release. Of the KBIS attendees, 48% were brand new to the show, the release states.
My guests on this episode are Crysta Hailes and Knikki Grantham.
Crysta Hailes is the Senior Director of Marketing and Communications for Eldorado Stone and Cultured Stone.
