What happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas: An insider look at KBIS

I will be traveling to Las Vegas on Monday and I’m giving you my insider look at KBIS 2019. I know most of you do not attend this show and for me, this is THE ONE that I will not miss! In fact, there are actually two big industry shows – the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the International Builder’s Show^® (IBS). I am extremely fortunate to be attending both!

Last year, I was part of an exclusive group and part of a blog tour hosted by Modenus. We had jam-packed days filled with learning, learning, and learning (ok – and just a wee bit of fun)! This year, I am attending this event on my own and crazy enough, I have scheduled myself in to see many suppliers and companies. This is gearing up to be another fantastic learning opportunity! Here’s a sneak peek at how I have prepared my days to provide you with an insider look into KBIS.

Day 1

I have strategically chosen these companies as I either do a lot of work with them and/or I want to see what is new, what is improved, and more importantly, what my clients could potentially use for their upcoming renovation. I plan to use this day to see as many other suppliers as well. I’m sure my Instagram and Facebook feeds will be full of my insider look at KBIS.

Day 2

This day is filled with a lot of professional development. I look forward to seeing the New American Home Tour as I missed that last year due to a late incoming flight. Of course, the day will wind down with a fantastic social event – The Bash. The event starts at 8:30 pm and if you know me, I’ll most likely be back in my hotel room by 10:00 pm (and that’s pushing it)!

Insider Look At KBIS

When friends hear that I’m off to Vegas to attend KBIS, I get a typical response.

You’re going to have such a great time. There’s so much to do in Vegas. Which show(s) will you be seeing?

I do get the giggles as I write this. I’m such a nerd as there are no shows in my agenda. Truly, I am there for business. And while I will attend The Bash on Wednesday night, I’m there to focus. I have a strategy for each day (I know…don’t laugh) and plan to write many blogs when I return. I find that the more information I can arm myself with, the better designer I will be. To give you a little insider look at KBIS, and provide you just how extensive this show is, take a look at the halls below, and all of the vendors and suppliers that will be attending!

I hope you enjoyed my insider look at KBIS and hope you’ll join me for a wonderful week of learning. I look forward to updating everyone on all the exciting new things from KBIS as well as items from the IBS.
