The 2018 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) announced the sixth official BlogTour set to take place Jan. 9-11, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. During BlogTour, 25 design bloggers and social media influencers will scour the KBIS show floor in search of the latest kitchen and bath trends and new product introductions, all while attending special events hosted by tour sponsors.

“BlogTour KBIS turns six in 2018 and continues to evolve each year – and this year will be no different – with exciting new influencers attending, including several from Britain and two from the U.K.” said Modenus CEO Veronika Miller. “Our influencers have the exciting job of reporting on the best new product debuts and trends in kitchen and bath coming out of the show. We’re very proud of the program that continues to grow and connect designers, influencers and brands through both social media and real life events.”
