KBIS and IBS Add the National Hardware Show to the Lineup

February 11, 2022

In a move that combines the power of three major industry trade shows, Design and Construction Week (DCW) is adding the National Hardware Show to its lineup in Las Vegas in 2023.  The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), owned by National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), and International Builders’ Show (IBS), owned by The National Homebuilders’ Association (NHAB), have partnered together for nine years to produce DCW.

“We think having the National Hardware Show co-locate with us in Las Vegas next year is a great opportunity to expand Design & Construction Week,” said Bill Darcy, NKBA CEO, of the 2023 show that will be held from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “It gives Design & Construction Week attendees more products and services to experience during their three days at the show. It’s also a great way for all three associations to better serve their respective members as we look to the future.”

The recent DCW show, held earlier this week in Orlando, was considered a rousing success. The combined KBIS and IBS show had more than 70,000 registered attendees who flooded the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) to visit nearly 1,200 exhibitors. For coverage of KBIS 2022, click here.
