KBIS Holds Steady in 2026

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) wrapped up its 2026 show Feb. 19, and organizers of the show — which shares space with the International Builders Show (IBS) –deemed the event a huge success.

The 2026 edition, held at the Orange County Convention Center, is owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by Emerald Expositions. The IBS is owned by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The combination of the two shows creates Design & Construction Week (DCW).

The three-day shows offer a combination of product introductions, demonstrations, networking and educational programming. Bill Darcy, global president and CEO of NKBA/KBIS believes the shows’ success was a reflection on what he called the remarkable vitality of the kitchen and bath industry.

“As shared at our annual State of the Association meeting, the industry is poised for a strong outlook and the consistent feedback we received from attendees was that KBIS reignited enthusiasm for the future,” Darcy says.

Covering more than 1 million ft², the combined shows drew 117,000 registrants and 2,250 exhibitors.

The strong performance was reflected across the show floor, where exhibitors debuted new products and technologies with demonstration and interactive displays, drawing steady crowds throughout the three-day event.

Brian Pagel, executive vice president of event producer Emerald, echoed that when he said, “…this year’s exhibitors showcased the strength and evolution shaping the industry.”

Next year, KBIS and Design & Construction Week will be held Feb. 2-4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and will again co-locate with the International Builders’ Show.
