The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), owned by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) is pleased to announce the 2022 KBIS exhibitors selected to participate in the high-energy KBIS NeXT Stage program – DesignBites. This not to be missed event will take place at noon on Feb. 8, 2022. Selected brands represent a cross section of new-to-market and larger, established brands. The lineup is sure to set the tone for the many innovations featured across the show floor. 

“We continue to be inspired by the many new and established brands who are driving our industry,” said Suzie Williford, executive vice president and chief strategy officer for the NKBA. “Kitchens and baths continue to be the rooms – inside and out – that define the trends for residential living whether integrating whole home technology, living in place concepts or simply advancing beautiful living. The products featured in our annual DesignBites challenge arguably set the pace for our industry.”

“Biggest Bite” Award Returns with a Twist

This year, attending media and the Designhounds Influencer Network, the leading community of design micro-influencers, managed by Modenus Media, will judge in real-time to recognize the best presenting brand. The winner will receive a product feature in Kitchen & Bath Business magazine, live social coverage from the KBIS social media team, booth signage and a prize pack to celebrate with their team.

As one of the most well-attended events on the NeXT Stage, this year, DesignBites invites the full audience to actively participate by voting for the most entertaining presentation. Votes will be tallied in real time and announced from the Stage after all participating exhibitors have concluded.
