Up to six brands will be invited to present on the NKBA channel, NKBA Live, in January 2023. This virtual opportunity gives brands a chance to preview their newest, most innovative products before the show begins. These brands will be reviewed by the influencer group Designhounds at the close of the NKBA Live event. They will select one finalist who will join the line-up to present on the KBIS NEXT Stage, January 31, 2023, from 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm.

A total of ten exhibiting brands will have the opportunity to tell their new, innovative product story in a three-minute presentation to the audience, utilizing three to five slides as part of their presentation, hosted by Day 1 Host, Arianne Bellizaire of Arianne Bellizaire Interiors, LLC.

A Q&A session will follow each presentation, conducted by a “shark” panel comprising influencers and media.

Two prizes will be awarded. One will go to the brand with the “Biggest Bite” (most innovative product) and the second will be a People’s Pick Award (judged in real-time by the audience for their favorite or most entertaining presentation).
