Why Exhibit?
Re-energized. Revitalized. Reinvented.
A new economic reality requires new thinking, and KBIS has responded with a fresh vision and an exciting, multi-year plan to re-energize the event and facilitate the growth of the industry—and your business. This year, we’re turning up the “wow factor” at the show, adding features to create a more engaging, more personalized show experience that will attract more attendees and foster more interaction with exhibitors and their products. We’re also adding new opportunities and participation gateways to accommodate all exhibiting budgets and marketing objectives.

See what exhibitors had to say about KBIS 2011:
“KBIS is THE best show in the industry. We always engage in meaningful interaction with show attendees and walk away with excellent, qualified leads. Show staff is world-class and focused on doing whatever they can to make it a great show for everyone. We've already reserved space for next year!”
Mary Beth Stutzman, National Marketing Manager, Panel Processing, Inc.
“KBIS 2011 was a great opportunity for Osborne Wood Products to strengthen existing relationships as well as develop new relationships. We received great feedback, heard new ideas, and really enjoyed talking with those who came by and hearing their daily needs, jobs, and what their clients are looking for. KBIS 2011 was a huge success for Osborne Wood Products and we look forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones as we get ready to exhibit in KBIS 2012!”
Erica Moore, Marketing Assistant, Osborne Wood Products, Inc
“KBIS is a premier show for us as our products are used primarily, though not exclusively, in kitchens & baths. We have been attending KBIS for over 10 years since we went into business and find it to be among the best venues for meeting our top customers and prospects. It is also an essential convention for furthering customer relationships and business development.”
Victoria Hale, Marketing Affiliation, WarmlyYours Radiant
“The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show is always a great opportunity for us to showcase our latest product innovations to customers and design professionals. Nothing can replace the opportunity to meet face-to-face with customers, specifiers, and key media, as well as give them personalized tours of our new product introductions and highlights from our full-line bath collections.”
Lenora Campos, PhD, Spokesperson, TOTO USA Inc.
“At KBIS, we can connect with our existing clients and meet magazine editors and potential clients in an inspiring climate. KBIS is the ideal show for us to showcase our wood surfaces and is the premier vehicle for large and small companies to garner additional clients and reinforce their brand worldwide.”
Denise Grothouse, Co-Owner, The Grothouse Lumber Company
