First Time Attendees
What Can First Time Attendees Expect from KBIS?
KBIS is the largest kitchen and bath show in North America, so you can expect to see a TON of products on the show floor. KBIS stretches across three exhibition halls in the Las Vegas Convention Center: North, West, and South Halls. It is also co-located with the International Builders’ Show (IBS) to create Design and Construction Week (DCW). That means you get access to two shows with your KBIS registration. Here’s some helpful tips to help you navigate our biggest event yet.
Helpful Tips from Past Attendees
Make a Plan.
The show can be overwhelming with the number of exhibitors, sessions, and other events. So review the exhibitor listings and show offerings, and make a plan.
Attend an Event
KBIS happens only once a year, so make the most of your experience by attending an off-site special event, like The Bash or NKBA Design Awards.Â
Bring Business Cards.
You will meet many new contacts and connections, so bring a supply to hand out.
Check out KBIS NEXTStage
The KBIS NEXTStage is free to all attendees. Attend sessions and gain valuable information to enhance your business.
Wear (Really) Comfortable Shoes.
KBIS has a massive show floor, sprawling across the North, West, and South halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Be prepared to get your steps in!
Drink Plenty of Water
The amount of walking, after show parties, and events will be much more enjoyable if you stay hydrated. Bring a reusable water bottle to fill up at various water stations through the Las Vegas Convention Center.Â
Don't Forget to Eat!
Bring a snack or a protein bar with you. The long days will require you to fuel yourself. There are also plenty of on-site food options available.Â
