K/BIS: Now More Than Ever

from K/BIS and NKBA -- Interior Design, 4/13/2009 12:00:00 AM

In this challenging economic environment, it’s more important than ever for you to strengthen your business by seeing the latest design trends, finding the latest products, and learning proven business strategies. You can do all this from April 30 to May 3 at the 2009 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show in Atlanta.

K/BIS experienced record attendance last year, as more than 60,000 professionals recognized the value of attending the show in a down economy. Now that the economy has become even more challenging, the NKBA has worked to ensure that K/BIS 2009 provides more value to attendees’ businesses than ever before.

Economist Terry Savage will explain everything you need to know about the current markets, while Andrew Winston will discuss how to use green design to increase your profits in a down economy, and Ken Jones, MBA will show you how to develop a competitive advantage. In addition, there will be presentations on obtaining consumer leads and discovering the products that consumers want in this market.

Of course, K/BIS will also feature celebrity speakers, including Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’s Paul DiMeo, HGTV Designed to Sell’s John Gidding, and This Old House’s Richard Tretheway, plus all the excitement of the show floor, which will feature the latest products from hundreds of exhibitors covering hundreds of thousands of square feet of exhibit space. Just a few of the many large companies exhibiting this year are Kohler, Whirlpool, LG, Moen, TOTO, Armstrong, GE, Delta, Gerber, TurboChef, Panasonic, Vent-a-Hood, Dacor, and Rohl, in addition to many, many more.

If the cost to attend is a concern, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that Atlanta is a relatively inexpensive city to visit. Many Atlanta hotels, which you can find and book at kbis.com/hotel__travel/travel-information, offer room rates as low as $129 a night. Given the importance for industry professionals to strengthen our businesses in 2009, the exceptional lineup of business presentations addressing the current economy, and the reasonable costs to attend the show, choose to invest in your business this year by attending K/BIS 2009.
