EXCITEMENT OF KBIS 2015 PROPELS EXHIBITOR GROWTH FOR 2016 SHOW
One month after the success of the 2015 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show
(KBIS), plans are already underway to expand the show in 2016. More than 315
manufacturers and brands have committed to exhibit at KBIS 2016. Emerald
Expositions has already sold 266,130 net square feet of exhibit space – in the
first month – almost the equivalent of what was sold in all of 2015.
This is the second year in a row KBIS has
experienced such tremendous growth. During the 2015 show, more than 33,119
industry professionals canvassed the show floor. The 2015 event attracted over
500 exhibitors, including 96 new presenters and 87 Loyalty Leaders – the group
of exhibitors recognized for their commitment to consecutively exhibiting at
KBIS for at least the past six years.
Part of this success is due to the creation
of Design & Construction Week™. KBIS, in conjunction with the International
Builders’ Show (IBS), owned by the National Association of Home Builders
(NAHB), anchor the week-long mega-event, which this year also included the
Winter 2015 Las Vegas Market and The International Surface Event – SURFACES and
Tile Expo.
“Bringing Design and Construction Week™ to
the industry is a major accomplishment from NKBA and our colleagues at NAHB,”
said Bill Darcy, NKBA CEO. “We have created a vibrant forum to get business
done in the kitchen and bath industry, fulfilling a major part of our
association mission. From here, it only gets better with outstanding
programming, top-notch learning opportunities, and the enthusiastic support of
all our exhibitors launching their new innovations at KBIS.”
The combination of the addition of the
South Hall, branded KBISNeXTTM, a
full schedule of educational programming, and packed exhibition floors has
demonstrated a strong appetite for this event.
“Given the successful introduction of
KBISNeXTTM, the Innovative Showroom Awards as well as the amount of
exhibition space now sold for 2016 – all within weeks of the conclusion of the
2015 show – we’re very optimistic about the possibilities for 2016,” said Brian
Pagel, VP, Kitchen & Bath, Emerald Expositions. “We are excited about the
future of this platform and our industry.”
