Registration Now Open for KBIS and IBS 2024
The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show and International Builders' Show are scheduled for February 27-29, 2024, in Las Vegas.
The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) opened registration today for the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), which will take place February 27-29, 2024 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
KBIS is the largest North American trade expo and networking opportunity for kitchen and bath industry professionals. The 2024 show will host more than 500 exhibitors and include programming and awards across a range of categories. The annual event is owned by NKBA and produced by Emerald Expositions.
“KBIS shines a spotlight on kitchen and bath design and technology. It’s an incredible opportunity for both new exhibitors and alumni to showcase their latest products and innovations — and for design professionals to discover the trends that will lead the industry in the coming year,” said Suzie Williford, NKBA executive vice president and chief strategy officer. “Building from a record-setting 2023 edition, this year marks the 60th anniversary of KBIS, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this milestone with an even larger layout and new programming.”

- KBISNeXT Stage will be held in the South Hall this coming year and continues to be a cornerstone of the KBIS experience, bringing to life the kitchen and bath industry through panels, conversations, awards, and competitions.
“Over its 60-year history, KBIS has established itself as a ‘must-attend’ event for industry leaders. The show is a place for connection across disciplines with colleagues able to network and exchange ideas,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president KBIS. “We look forward to 2024 and all that KBIS has to offer.”
