The new event will be held Feb. 4-6, 2014, at the Las Vegas Convention Center; organizers are dubbing it Design and Construction Week. The two events will remain separate shows held simultaneously.
Kitchen and bath brands that have participated in both shows can choose to exhibit in the KBIS or IBS hall, and one pass will provide access to both exhibits. Future show dates are Jan. 20-22, 2015, and Jan. 19-21, 2016.
The event is expected to draw more than 75,000 specifiers, builders, dealers and suppliers and 2,000 exhibiting brands, based on recent trends for both shows.
