NKBA Presents: KBIS 2022 Kitchen and Bath Conference

The National Kitchen & Bath Association’s annual wholesale tradeshow, the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, [ #KBIS2022 ] is just around the corner and I can’t wait!

 This tradeshow brings together over 500 exhibitors and attracts over 80,000 people. This year, it’s taking place Feb. 8th -10th in Orlando, Florida.

There are dozens of programming venues and educational events for attendees, but the largest venue is the annual *Voices Of The Industry Conference*.

I am honored to share with you that, this year, I have been chosen to be a presenter at #VFTI about *Contracts Clauses: How To Protect Yourself From Downside Risk* –  a topic that concerns all kitchen and bath showrooms and designers in this current environment.

Thank you, NKBA! 

KBIS 2022: The Kitchen and Bath Conference

What is KBIS? 

• The largest North American trade show totally dedicated to everything kitchen and bath.
• The KBIS tradeshow is the crossroads for design, information, innovation and celebration of the kitchen and bath industry.
• Manufacturers from across the globe exhibit at KBIS to connect with a wide variety of industry professionals, editors, and service providers.
• KBIS showcases the trends, technologies and smart appliances of the future. The image below gives you some idea of the size of the KBIS exhibition floor. This is just the TOTO booth, a luxury line of toilets and bidets I specify frequently for my clients. 
  

  Who is the NKBA?

Now you know what KBIS is – but what about the NKBA?

• The National Kitchen & Bath Association is a trade association headquartered in New Jersey.
• The NKBA has over 50,000 members and is the leading source of information and education about the kitchen and bath industry.

” The NKBA’s mission is to enhance member success and excellence by promoting professionalism and ethical business practices, and providing leadership and direction for the kitchen and bathroom industry.”

What Is The Voices From The Industry Conference?

Education is a big component of KBIS and, as I mentioned earlier, this year I will be speaking at the Voices Of The Industry Conference, where KBIS brings together industry professionals to discuss all aspects of our businesses. 

I hope to see you at my presentation if you’re attending.

In addition to presenting this talk, I will be sharing new products I find at #KBIS2022 with you over on my Instagram feed at https://instagram.com/thymeandplacedesign.

One such product I found at KBIS in year’s past was this sink I just specified into a new project. It’s from Franke and I look forward to seeing what’s new from them this year.

You can see the rest of this newly completed project on the portfolio section of my site, here: https://thymeandplacedesign.com/project/hearthstone-kitchen-renovation/.

If you’re attending KBIS2022, and you’re a regular attendee of my Clubhouse club, The Design Collaborative, that meets each Wednesday at 3 pm ET, and I haven’t met you yet, please come up and say Hi!

I’m looking forward to the Florida sunshine {!} after our cold New Jersey winter.  Equally important, I look forward to seeing my vendors and seeing many of my friends and colleagues at #KBIS2022.
